Zorya battle Vorskla for prestige and sporting success.

Insights:
  • Zorya have yet to win a game at home.
  • Vorskla have not yet lost a game.

Not a lot of time to rest for the team playing at home, as they performed in a Europa League fixture only three days earlier. Thankfully the previous game, versus Rapid Vienna, was also a home game here at Slavutych-Arena. The away team is better rested.

Zorya form and stats

Three Premier League home games done for Zorya, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches.

The Zorya crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-3 to Rapid Vienna here at Slavutych-Arena in a Europa League match. The penalty miss from Shahab Zahedi in the defeat against Rapid Vienna was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

In the preceding match a 4-3 victory visiting Mariupol.

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 two times, drawn three and lost two.

Zorya aren't scoring a lot here at Slavutych-Arena in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. Zorya have conceded 4 in these home matches.

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.
