Struggling Vorskla will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Desna in the upcoming league round. It’s 12th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Vorskla form and stats

With 1 Premier League win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Vorskla, who have the most conceded goals (25) in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The fans are hoping that Vorskla will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Premier League game against Zorya (placed 4th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Olimpik Donetsk.

Vorskla were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Vorskla here at Butovsky Vorskla Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.

Desna form and stats

The away performances of Desna have been very solid so far with 5 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat in the Premier League. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 0 draws and only 1 loss in the Premier League.

Two travels in a row for Desna, whose manager O. Ryabokon could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against Lviv. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Zorya wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 15 goals in 6 league games away this season. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Desna - Vorskla 2-0. Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Vorskla, 3 draws and 2 wins for Desna. Over 2,5 goals: 2 times; under 2,5 goals: 6 games.
