An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both Vorskla and Olimpik Donetsk experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 10th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Vorskla have had a bad season and will be relegated from Premier League. Olimpik Donetsk are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.
