This match involves two participants living in the basement of the Kakkonen, PeKa at 11th place and Futura lying 9th. A nice chance for one of the participants to improve their position.
- PeKa is in the worst form (0-2-4)
- Futura have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their matches.
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.
PeKa form and stats
PeKa have played 5 Kakkonen games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). When PeKa hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like LaPa, PeKa and KuPS Ak.), they have won 1 of 2 matches! PeKa have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 385 minutes without scoring a league goal. Hyppönen was the last player to find the net.
The spoils were shared in PeKa's previous game, also at home. Visiting Atlantis (placed 7th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Reipas (0-5).This is expected to be a close game, with PeKa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with PeKa as a small favourite), we find 7 games. PeKa has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.
PeKa have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Futura form and stats
2-2-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Futura in their Kakkonen matches away.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to PPJ (placed 8th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against PPJ after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Koponen needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As mentioned above, Futura drew the match against PPJ. Manager Koponen brought on Britschgi to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
A 0-3 loss hosting NJS before that.Goal hungry football fans should note that 9 of this club's 11 most recent league fixtures have ended with three or more goals.
Futura are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. Futura struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 10 goals conceded from these games.
