National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's JäPS or EIF that keep their silverware dream alive.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting EIF have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-7-4 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for JäPS and EIF.
JäPS form and stats
Last season their Finland Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.JäPS have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Ykkonen. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
JäPS's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Jaro. The home side are looking to build on that result.
A Ykkonen defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at HIFK.The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does JäPS handle that role? We have found 5 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
The manager Ahola will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Gnistan in only four days.
JäPS are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games.
EIF form and stats
Last season their Finland Cup adventure ended in the 5th round.Things could have gone better for EIF in their Ykkonen away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
EIF go into this game after a win, the home game against JJK that ended 3-0.
Preceding that game was the away Ykkonen victory against SalPa with the score of 2-1.We have checked recent matches where EIF have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 8 games were 1 victory, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
EIF have another game away in just four sleeps, a Ykkonen fixture against KäPa. A difficult fixture list for the visiting team!
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on EIF as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Last five meetings between these squads: JäPS won four, EIF triumphed in one and we saw zero draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with less than 2,5 goals.
