It's no vacation for neither Karpaty nor AFSK Kyiv 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.

AFSK Kyiv form and stats
AFSK are travelling again after losing away to LNZ Cherkasy in their previous match (0-4). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against LNZ Cherkasy was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. AFSK did not look prepared in the first half against LNZ Cherkasy and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.
Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to MSK Dnipro Cherkasy.A quick return to home after this game, as AFSK are hosting Dinaz Vyshhorod in the Second League: Group A only four days away.
