Chayka form and stats

2 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Chayka have to build on here at Kozak Arena in the Second League: Group A. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Chayka, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Chayka crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 3-4 to Munkacs here at Kozak Arena in a Second League: Group A match. A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Munkacs) as a comfortable lead 3-0 was completely ruined into a loss 3-4. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Ahead of that match, Chayka lost 0-4 at home to LNZ Cherkasy.

Chayka have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Kozak Arena with 9 goals in 6 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 10 goals have been conceded.
