SalPa will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 9 points behind PIF.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
SalPa form and stats
SalPa's results here at Salon Urheilupuisto Stadion in the Kakkonen have been very modest with 0 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. With seven home Kakkonen games in a row without a win, the SalPa fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Klubi-04 game long ago, can be stopped today.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 200 minutes without scoring a league goal. L. Laguerre was the last player to find the net.
SalPa drew their last game, also a home match. PIF (placed 3rd) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting HJS Akatemia (0-1).
The SalPa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as SalPa have allowed the opposition to score 19 goals here at Salon Urheilupuisto Stadion.
PIF form and stats
