A tale of loss and gain for these two squads so far this campaign, holding positions near the center of the Kakkonen table. Here's the Tampere United - Honka Akatemia latest:
- Tampere United have the most dropped points from leading position (12) in Kakkonen
- Honka Akatemia have the fewest conceded goals (7) away in Kakkonen
Honka Akatemia could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Kakkonen game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at I-Kissat. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Tampere United form and stats
4-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Kakkonen numbers at home for Tampere United so far this season. Tampere United has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Listenmaa and the players.
Tampere United's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus MuSa (placed 7th).
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at SalPa.This is expected to be a close game, with Tampere perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tampere United as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Tampere United has won 0 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.
An interesting fact: 8 of the latest 10 league matches from this club have had at least one goal from each side.
The manager Listenmaa will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Klubi-04 in only four days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (16 in 7 games), Tampere United's attacking play is working. On the other hand, Tampere have conceded 10 goals.
