National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Veres or Mykolaiv that keep their silverware dream alive.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Persha Liga match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Chornomorets.
Veres form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Ukrainian Cup for Veres, as the manager Y. Virt led his troops to eliminate MSK Dnipro Cherkasy and Alians Lypova Dolyna, and reach the 3rd Round. Veres was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the Ukrainian Cup.The story so far in the Persha Liga for Veres at their home stadium is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats. Veres are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
No payout for Veres in their previous match, an away game at Chornomorets that ended in defeat 0-1. Ahead of that match, Veres won a home game hosting Prykarpattia (3-0).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Veres at home in the league. 3 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Mykolaiv form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Chornomorets and Balkany Zorya in order to reach 3rd Round of Ukrainian Cup. They also participated in Ukrainian Cup last season. This ended in the 8th finals.Things could have gone better for Mykolaiv in their Persha Liga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Mykolaiv lost away at Alians Lypova Dolyna (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Chornomorets in the Ukrainian Cup.
2 goals so far away for Mykolaiv, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Veres, two draws and four wins for Mykolaiv. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
