Perhaps a welcome break from league football as MuSa & EIF face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Finland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
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!
This pitch has grass, which is not EIF's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass EIF have performed like this: Played 26 matches resulting in 3 wins, 8 draws and 15 defeats with the goal stats 28-52 (scored/conceded).
MuSa form and stats
MuSa was eliminated in the group stage last season in the Finland Cup.When playing at home in the Ykkonen, MuSa have managed 6 wins, 1 draw and suffered 4 defeats from 11 games.
In their previous game, the manager V. Ulanen led his MuSa to a defeat in the Finland Cup match away at TPS. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Heartbreak before that as MuSa lost 1-2 at PK-35's place.
MuSa have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 21 goals in 11 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the MuSa defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
EIF form and stats
EIF was sent out of Finland Cup in the group stage last season.3-4-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for EIF in their Ykkonen matches away.
The manager G. Santesmases was unhappy after their last game, a Finland Cup match played at their home ground Ekenäs Centrumplan. EIF suffered a 0-2 loss to PK-35. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs TPS.
EIF are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 11 away games so far. EIF's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
