After three games we know a little more about the qualities of GrIFK and FC Espoo in this fresh Kakkonen season. Read our match 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!
GrIFK form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Kakkonen game of the season here at Kauniaisten Keskuskenttä. Last season these fans witnessed 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses from GrIFK's 11 home games. GrIFK has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Europaeus and the players.
The fans are hoping that GrIFK will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Kakkonen game against PIF (placed 2nd). Before that game, the home loss against HJS Akatemia with the scoreline 2-3.
GrIFK were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the GrIFK at home in the league. 2 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
FC Espoo form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Kakkonen ended in defeat. Last season FC Espoo had these away match statistics: Played 2; won 1, drew 0 and lost 1.
Espoo won their last game, 2-0 versus P-Iirot played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Atlantis wasn't a success with a 2-4 loss.
2 goals so far away for FC Espoo, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: four wins for GrIFK, one draw and three wins for FC Espoo. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
