Vorskla form and stats
Vorskla's first Premier League home game here at Stadion Vorskla im. Oleksiya Butov'skogo ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat from 10 matches. Vorskla has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Skripnik and the players.
No payout for Vorskla in their previous match, an away game at Metalist 1925 Kharkiv that ended in defeat 2-3. The defeat against Metalist 1925 Kharkiv was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored two minutes into stoppage time (by Boryachuk).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Veres (1-2).The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Vorskla have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 4 and lost 2.
