This could be an interesting match as Nikopol have their presumed home advantage while Krystal are ahead 17 points in the Second League: Group B table.

Nikopol are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Krystal are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
