National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's KTP or Haka that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Veikkausliiga. That game, against HJK, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Haka.
KTP form and stats
KTP participated in Finland Cup the last season, where they reached the group stage.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for KTP's two home games in the Ykkonen so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Arto Tolsa Areena.
KTP lost their last game at JäPS after a 1-2 scoreline. The hosts have an in-form goalscorer in Mika, having bagged a goal in three consecutive games.
A strong away win before that one, visiting KPV and winning 3-1.KTP has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Haka form and stats
They also participated in Finland Cup last season. This ended in the group stage.As the visiting team in Veikkausliiga matches, Haka have produced an overall stat of 1-0-4 so far.
Haka lost away at HJK (1-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against SJK in the Veikkausliiga.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Lahti in just three days.
Haka are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). The Haka manager Tainio has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Data for the previous ten meetings between these two sides are: two wins for KTP, three draws and five wins for Haka. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
