On Sunday, the program of the seventh round of the Ukrainian Premier League "Minay" will play in Uzhgorod with Odessa "Chernomorets". We offer you a forecast for this match.
"Minai"
The Minais are well set up to fight for survival, having received a chance to play in the Premier League after relegation in the previous season. "Foxes" started the season with a home victory over "Alexandria" (1: 0), although after that they gave out an unimportant away series, losing to "Dynamo" (0: 2) and "Veres" (0: 1), between these losses they drew with "Zarya" (1:1). In the last round, Minay managed to sensationally achieve a draw with Shakhtar at home (1: 1).
"Chernomorets"
"The Mariners" after their return to the UPL look quite unsurprising, demonstrating the worst defensive game among all 16 teams. Nevertheless, most of the matches of Odessa residents turn out to be persistent. In early August, they lost away to Metallist-1925 (2:3), after which they defeated Mariupol (3:2). In the home match with Shakhtar (0:3), Chernomorets failed to provide decent resistance, but in the last round they almost beat Alexandria (2:2).
Statistics and figures
- Minay has a 4-match winless streak (2 draws + 2 defeats);
- In all five matches of "Minaya" this season, the "Total less than 2.5"bet was held;
- "Minay" has not lost to "Chernomorets" in the previous two head-to-head matches (1: 0, 1: 1);
- "Chernomorets" won only 1 match out of six played this season, losing four times;
- In the last seven matches of Chernomorets, the Total bet was more than 2.5;
- Chernomorets has won 3 matches out of the last five away matches, losing twice.
Forecast
Chernomorets plays well in attack, and during the two-week break had the opportunity to tighten up their game in defense. It will be difficult for Minay to maintain courage after the draw with Shakhtar, where the motivation of the players to prove themselves was simply off the scale.
