Veres are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Dynamo Kyiv. The penalty miss from Shestakov in the defeat against Dynamo Kyiv was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Oleksandria that ended 2-2.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

It's the second away game in a row for Inhulets, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Lviv (placed 16th) last time out. Yippee; their first three points in the league after seven matches not winning.
