Tampere United form and stats

Tampere United have played 9 Kakkonen games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Pyynikin urheilukenttä, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the I-Kissat game.

Tampere United's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 3-4 versus GrIFK (placed 7th). The first setback in the shape of a loss after going undefeated through three league games. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Before that match, a win away at VJS.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Tampere United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 0 and lost 4.

A fact related to the "Both teams to score yes/no" betting option: A review of the 15 latest league games highlights that 13 of them had goals from both sides.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (20 in 9 games), Tampere's attacking play is working. Tampere United have conceded 17 from these games. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
