This match features two teams living in the basement of the Second League: Group B, Nikopol holding 11th place and Mykolaiv II lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Nikopol form and stats
Nikopol have collected 2 points from their Second League: Group B home games so far after 0-2-2. Nikopol have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Nikopol, who played 1-1 against Peremoga. That match was also played at this venue
Nikopol has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 4 games. Nikopol have conceded 6 from these games.
Mykolaiv II form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (16) in Second League: Group B, on their Second League: Group B travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. It's looking increasingly bleak for Mykolaiv who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Hirnyk was the last time a defeat was avoided. Mykolaiv seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
A 1-2 loss hosting MSK Dnipro Cherkasy before that.
Mykolaiv are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. The Mykolaiv manager M. Popelyshko has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
