National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Haka or Mariehamn that keep their silverware dream alive.
Haka form and stats
Haka participated in Finland Cup the last season, where they reached the semi-finals.Haka's struggle is real here at Saharan tekonurmi with only 5 points collected from 11 Veikkausliiga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-8.
The Haka fans got no joy from their last match, a Veikkausliiga game also here at Saharan tekonurmi: A 0-1 defeat against Mariehamn. In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting KuPS.
This is expected to be a close game, with Haka perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Haka as a small favourite), we find four games. Haka has won one of these, drawn zero and lost three.
Haka aren't scoring a lot here at Saharan tekonurmi in the league, with only 9 goals from 11 games. Haka are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (25 from 11 played).
Mariehamn form and stats
Mariehamn's mission in Finland Cup last season failed in the group stage.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mariehamn so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-6 (win-draw-lose).
It's the second away game in a row for Mariehamn, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Haka in the Veikkausliiga last time out. The game before that, in the Veikkausliiga, was lost at home, a 0-5 defeat against HJK.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Mariehamn in our archives, and the results are: one win for Mariehamn, three draws and zero defeats.
Mariehamn have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 16 goals have been scored. Mariehamn have conceded 24 goals in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
