Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Atlantis.

Home advantage was not enough for Espoo in their previous game, as they lost their Kakkonen-match, hosting SalPa, 2-5. Ahead of that game was the 3-3 draw at home against KaaPo.

Leading 2-0 was not enough for FC Espoo in their fight with SalPa last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-5 loss. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Espoo, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
