Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Hirnyk & Nyva Vinnytsya face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Ukrainian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Hirnyk nor Nyva Vinnytsya as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
This pitch has grass, which is not Nyva Vinnytsya's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Nyva Vinnytsya have performed like this: Played 33 matches resulting in 15 wins, 3 draws and 15 defeats with the goal stats 41-31 (scored/conceded).
Nyva Vinnytsya have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Hirnyk form and stats
Hirnyk have reached this Ukrainian Cup stage through battling and winning against Cherkashchyna-Akademiya and Tavriya. Hirnyk participated in Ukrainian Cup the last season, where they reached the 1st round.The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Mykolaiv II in the Second League: Group B last time out and are looking for a win here.
The manager G. Prykhodko will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tavriya in only three days.
Hirnyk have prepared for this season with two friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these two matches are 1 victories, 0 draws and 1 losses. In these games, Hirnyk have scored 6 goals and conceded 6 times.
Nyva Vinnytsya form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Krystal and Chernihiv in order to reach 3rd Round of Ukrainian Cup. They also participated in Ukrainian Cup last season. This ended in the 2nd round.Bitter travels for Nyva Vinnytsya as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Uzhhorod match. It's looking increasingly bleak for Vinnytsya who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Dinaz Vyshhorod was the last time a defeat was avoided.
It was a Second League: Group A defeat before that one as the away game against Dinaz Vyshhorod wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.
The schedule is very tough for Vinnytsya now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Second League: Group A game at Uzhhorod is waiting in only four days.
