Perhaps a welcome break from league football as MuSa & Gnistan 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!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Gnistan 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 9-7-13 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.
MuSa form and stats
MuSa participated in Finland Cup the last season, where they reached the group stage.MuSa have played 13 Ykkonen games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-1-5 (wins-draws-losses). This match is a Finland Cup match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses in this competition.
The MuSa goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 183 minutes without conceding a goal in the Ykkonen.
The MuSa crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to MP here in a Finland Cup match. In the game before, an away victory in the Finland Cup match versus MYPA with a 2-1 scoreline.
The MuSa fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 21 goals in 13 league matches. MuSa have conceded 23 from these games.
