Oleksandria form and stats

Playing away, Oleksandria have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Premier League this season.

Oleksandria has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Saint-Étienne for a Europa League game that ended a draw (1-1). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Dynamo Kyiv's place.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any point(s) for the visitors would be a surprise.

The outsiders lost 3 of these games by at least two goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Oleksandria are hosting Zorya in the Ukrainian Cup only three days away.
