Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Desna U21 languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Dnipro-1 U21 will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Desna U21 have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
  • Dnipro-1 U21 have scored more than double the goals of Desna U21.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Desna U21 form and stats

With 1 Youth League win, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Desna U21 are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Desna U21 with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Mariupol U21 game, 96 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Desna, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Desna haven't scored in 213 minutes.

The Desna fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 9 matches. As for conceded goals, Desna's unpleasant statistic is 27 goals surrendered. Desna U21's defense is seriously deficient as 27 goals have been conceded in these matches.
