A 0-0 draw away before that, with I-Kissat the opponent.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

SalPa form and stats

The visitors are W2-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Kakkonen.

SalPa delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against KaaPo (placed 8th) in their previous match; a Kakkonen game.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Jazz.

SalPa are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of four matches.

The schedule is very tough for SalPa now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Kakkonen game at I-Kissat is waiting in only four days.

SalPa have scored 5 goals on their travels this season, from 4 away games in the league. SalPa's manager I. Virtanen has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 2 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
