It's no vacation for neither Rukh Vynnyky nor Olimpik Donetsk as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Olimpik Donetsk have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Vynnyky can neither be promoted or relegated from Premier League. Olimpik are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
