It's still early in the Kakkonen season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the FC Espoo - P-Iirot preview!
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!
9-9-12 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for P-Iirot when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 30 matches are 51-52 (scored/conceded).
FC Espoo form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Kakkonen game of the season here. Last season these fans witnessed 1 win, 0 draws and 0 losses from FC Espoo's 1 home games.
No payout for Espoo in their previous match, an away game at Atlantis that ended in defeat 2-4. Before that game, the home loss against TPV with the scoreline 0-2.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Early season league goal statistics from FC Espoo's 1 home game: 0 goals, 2 conceded.
P-Iirot form and stats
The visitors settled for one point in their first Kakkonen away game of the season. During their previous season 11 away games resulted in 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.
P-Iirot aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 240 league minutes without a goal. E. Setanen was the last player to find the net.
P-Iirot might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. PIF proved too strong as P-Iirot slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Äijänsuon Stadion. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to HJS Akatemia.
0 goals so far away for P-Iirot, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
