Zorya form and stats

Two Premier League home games so far for Zorya, who are yet to win here at Slavutych-Arena. Only 0 points so far. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Zorya, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Zorya fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at Slavutych-Arena: A 1-2 defeat against Dynamo Kyiv (placed 1st). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Denis Favorov for missing a penalty kick versus Dynamo Kyiv in the 76th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Inhulets with a 5-1 scoreline.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Zorya home games with this odds we find nine games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in eight wins, zero draws and one defeat.

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.
