National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's KTP or EIF that keep their silverware dream alive.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-5-21 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.
KTP form and stats
Last season, KTP's Finland Cup journey ended in the 8th finals.7-2-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Ykkonen numbers at home for KTP so far this season.
KTP enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at MuSa's place. The match ended 2-1 with T. Usta and A. Mäkijärvi scoring. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting TPV (0-1).
The KTP fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 23 goals in 13 league matches. On the other hand, KTP have conceded 15 goals.
EIF form and stats
EIF was sent out of Finland Cup in the group stage last season.There's been little loot from EIF's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 13 away games in the Ykkonen. EIF only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 0 draws.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Finland Cup home defeat versus Gnistan with 0-4 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting MuSa's place.
EIF lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
EIF have scored 15 goals on their travels this season, from 13 away games in the league. For EIF, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
