There's been nine sleeps since Oleksandria met Dnipro-1 and the result was 1-3. Can they get the points versus Zorya?

Insights:
  • Oleksandria have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Zorya have the most scored goals (22) away in Premier League

Zorya could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa Conference League game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Roma, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Zorya.

Oleksandria form and stats

3-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Oleksandria so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager Y. Gura led his Oleksandria to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Dnipro-1. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at KSK Nika.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Rukh Vynnyky that finished 0-0.

The Oleksandria fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 6 goals in 4 league matches. Oleksandria are not conceding a lot of goals here at KSK Nika in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.

Zorya form and stats

The visitors, who have the most scored goals (22) away in Premier League, are W4-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.

Zorya lost away at Roma (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Zorya lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Dmytro Matsapura (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.43. Matsapura saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with five saves.

It was a Premier League defeat before that one as the away game against Lviv wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Zorya are scoring goals for fun in their league games away this season, having clocked up more than three goals per game on average (22 goals from 7 away games). Zorya have conceded 14 goals in these games.

Twelve teams play each other twice in a 22 match regular season to create a league table. The table then splits in half resulting in a Championship round and a Relegation round, each playing ten more fixtures.
