EIF form and stats
EIF was eliminated in the group stage last season in the Finland Cup.EIF are steadily winning Ykkonen games and points here at Ekenäs Centrumplan. 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 11 games.
The EIF crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Oulu here at Ekenäs Centrumplan in a Ykkonen match. Ahead of that match, EIF lost 1-2 at home to Oulu.
Goals decide football matches and EIF are scoring many of them at home; 26 on target from 11 league matches. From these home matches, EIF have conceded only 8 goals.
TPS form and stats
TPS's mission in Finland Cup last season failed in the quarter-finals.TPS have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Veikkausliiga, after 1-2-8 (11 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in TPS's last three away games as they have all been lost.
TPS had fun at their own home (Ekenäs Centrumplan) last time out, beating KuPS 3-2. Jean, J. Latonen and N. Pyyhtiä scored. A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs KuPS.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager J. Johansson when N. Pyyhtiä scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute.
The visitors have scored 9 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The TPS manager J. Johansson has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): EIF won zero games, three matches ended with a draw and TPS has seven wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / fourEIF missing players
