PEPO and Honka Akatemia have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Kakkonen.
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 PEPO and Honka Akatemia.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Honka Akatemia have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-4-6 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.
PEPO form and stats
PEPO must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Kakkonen games here at Kimpisen Urheilupuisto. The last three games played by PEPO, regardless of arena, have all ended draws. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
The spoils were shared in PEPO's previous game, also at home. Visiting Honka Akatemia (placed 5th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Before that, PEPO drew at home versus EPS.
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 PEPO's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn one and lost zero.
PEPO has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. PEPO are not conceding a lot of goals here at Kimpisen Urheilupuisto in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Honka Akatemia form and stats
Things could have gone better for Honka Akatemia in their Kakkonen away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Akatemia have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper. It's been 182 minutes since they last conceded in Kakkonen.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to PEPO (placed 6th) in their previous outing. The Kakkonen match ended in a draw 0-0. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Kiffen.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Honka Akatemia when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing one and winning zero games.
The travelling fans enjoy Honka Akatemia's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. The Honka Akatemia manager R. Paularinne has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
