The Vorskla manager Y. Maksymov attacks this game with the team placed 1st so far. In the visitors dressing room Mariupol and their manager O. Markevych are in 3rd place before this match.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Vorskla form and stats
As mentioned below, Vorskla are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Premier League games.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.
It's back home for Vorskla, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Oleksandria away with the result 2-0. David Puclin and Ruslan Stepanyuk found the net in that victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Inhulets in a game that was won 2-0.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ukrainian Cup game versus Lviv in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadion Vorskla im. Oleksiya Butov'skogo.
Vorskla has scored 7 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Mariupol form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the Premier League away games so far for Mariupol, who have the most points (6) away in Premier League, with six points collected from three matches. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Mariupol are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
It's the second away game in a row for Mariupol, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Dnipro-1 (placed 11th) in the Premier League last time out. Prior to that result Mariupol won their away game at Zorya. The scoreline was 1-0.
Mariupol has another fixture away, a Ukrainian Cup game, against Viktoriya Mykolaivka in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Mariupol have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. Mariupol's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Vorskla two wins, four draws and Mariupol four victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Vorskla missing players
