Premier League: What this fixture might lack in style it should pay back in energy and commitment. Bring on Vorskla - Lviv!

Insights:
  • Lviv have the most conceded goals in the first half (9) in Premier League

Lviv have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Vorskla form and stats

2 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Vorskla have to build on here at Stadion Vorskla im. Oleksiya Butov'skogo in the Premier League.

Vorskla's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Minai (placed 11th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Finally, a league win after three games without one.

Before that, Vorskla played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Dynamo Kyiv.

Lviv form and stats

As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Lviv have produced an overall stat of 1-2-2 so far.

Lviv's last game was the home draw against Metal Kharkiv (1-1). The draw against Metal Kharkiv came from a losing position. The Lviv manager Dulub brought on Remenyak as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Oleksandria's place.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Lviv playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 2 away wins, 2 draws and 1 home win.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Lviv as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the prior ten meetings involving these two contenders are: five wins for Vorskla, three draws and two wins for Lviv. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.

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.
