Venue: Kimpisen Urheilupuisto

Very important shoot-out in the lower section of the Kakkonen, with both LaPa and PeKa experiencing more concern than delight. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the host team at 12th and the away team in 11th place.

Insights:
  • LaPa have the fewest scored goals (9) in Kakkonen
  • PeKa have yet to win a game away.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

LaPa form and stats

All-inclusive Kakkonen results at home this season for LaPa, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in Kakkonen, are 1-0-4 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for LaPa with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Futura game, 47 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 185 minutes without scoring a league goal. Akoh was the last player to find the net.

The club members are hoping that LaPa will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-9 away loss in the game against PPJ (placed 8th). LaPa were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting NJS (0-5).

Lots of goals and action? Who knows the future, but we do know that 11 of the 12 latest league games with this side has seen three goals or more.

LaPa have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. LaPa's defense is seriously deficient as 16 goals have been conceded in these matches.

PeKa form and stats

PeKa have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Kakkonen, after 0-1-6 (7 played). Bitter travels for PeKa as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Kiffen match.

The manager Ikävalko was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Karhulan Keskuskenttä. PeKa suffered a 1-2 loss to Futura (placed 9th).

A draw for PeKa before that, at their own venue hosting Atlantis (0-0).

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. PeKa can't defend away. 26 goals have been scored by the opposition in 7 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
