Nothing to worry about in defence for Veres, as their goalkeeper Bogdan Kogut has completely shut out the opponents for 184 minutes in the Premier League.

Mariupol form and stats

1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Mariupol, who have the most conceded goals (27) in Premier League, playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Mariupol who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Kolos Kovalivka was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Mariupol might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Metalist 1925 Kharkiv proved too strong as Mariupol slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion im. Volodymyra Boyka.

A loss against Rukh Vynnyky was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Mariupol are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, three draws and four defeats. From a total of nine matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Dynamo Kyiv in just four days.

Mariupol are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). Mariupol's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Head to head totals (for the prior seven meetings): Veres won two games, four matches ended with a draw and Mariupol managed one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / six

The Ukrainian Premier League is the highest division of football in Ukraine. It was created in 1991 as Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union. 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.
