The visiting Desna side should be favourites in this visit to Olimpik Donetsk, as the away team holds a 18 point advantage from their 20 league games this season.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Olimpik Donetsk have had a bad season and will be relegated from Premier League. Desna is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Olimpik Donetsk form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from their home games, Olimpik Donetsk, who have the most conceded goals (21) at home in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Olimpik Donetsk with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Karpaty game, 101 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at Stadion Yuvilejnyj have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Olimpik Donetsk as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 221 minutes without scoring a league goal. S. Zahedi was the last player to find the net.
Olimpik Donetsk are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Zorya. Preceding that match was a defeat to Lviv (0-1).
There will be little rest for Olimpik Donetsk after this match as they are travelling to Vorskla for a Premier League game in only three days.
Olimpik Donetsk aren't scoring a lot here at Stadion Yuvilejnyj in the league, with only 8 goals from 10 games. Olimpik Donetsk have conceded 21 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Desna form and stats
The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 0 draws and only 3 losses in the Premier League.
Desna are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the Premier League against Mariupol (placed 8th). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Shakhtar Donetsk's place.
As you can tell from the results above, Desna was very dominant against Mariupol, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Vladislav Kalitvintsev, Oleksandr Filippov and Andriy Totovytskyi (2) providing the goals.
A new game in only three days for Desna, the Premier League home match versus Zorya. Busy days.
Desna have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 22 goals from 10 away matches. Desna are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 9 times in 10 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
