Premier League: Zorya are ready for the visit of Desna in what promises to be an action-packed football match. Tipsway gives you all the news, stats and facts!
- Zorya have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
- All of Desna's away-matches have had more than 2,5 goals.
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!
Zorya form and stats
The story so far in the Premier League for Zorya at their home stadium (Slavutych-Arena) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Zorya after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Zorya goalkeeper Dmytro Matsapura is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 233 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premier League.
A strong away win for Zorya against Dnipro-1 the last match, as Vladyslav Kochergin (2), Shahab Zahedi and Serhii Buletsa were on target. As mentioned above, Zorya "killed" Dnipro-1 in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Ahead of that match, Zorya won a home game hosting Chornomorets (3-0).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Zorya have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn three and lost one.
Zorya has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. From these home matches, Zorya have conceded only 4 goals.
Desna form and stats
Desna are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Metalist 1925 Kharkiv with 1-2 on the scoreboard.
It was a Ukrainian Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Metal Kharkiv wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.We have checked recent matches where Desna have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were two victories, one draw and one defeat.
Desna are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 3 games (in the league). The Desna manager O. Ryabokon has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head numbers (for the last ten meetings): Zorya won five games, two matches ended in a draw and Desna managed three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / sixTop Goalscorers
