It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Jazz and EPS.

2 - 5 - 4 with 16-18. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for EPS when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. EPS play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.

Jazz form and stats

2-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Kakkonen numbers at home for Jazz so far this season.

Jazz manager J. Uotinen and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus I-Kissat (placed 5th) in the Kakkonen.

Before that, Jazz drew at home versus I-Kissat.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Jazz's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won zero matches, drawn one and lost one.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as KaaPo are coming to town in three days.

The Jazz manager J. Uotinen has got the team scoring with 10 from 5 home games in the league. On the other hand, Jazz have conceded 6 goals.

EPS form and stats

1-2-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for EPS, who have the most clean sheets (4) in Kakkonen, in their Kakkonen matches away.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Kakkonen home defeat versus HJS Akatemia with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Late heartbreak for EPS in the HJS Akatemia match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Before that, EPS travelled to HJS Akatemia and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and EPS playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, one draw and three home wins.

The schedule is very tough for EPS now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Kakkonen game at Ilves II is waiting in only three days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far EPS have scored 4 goals in 4 league games away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).

Head 2 Head

As for the last two games between these two teams, there's two Jazz victories, zero draws and zero EPS wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, zero matches with two goals or less.
