Insights:
  • TPV have the fewest scored goals (15) in Kakkonen

TPV form and stats

TPV's struggle is real here at Kauppi 2 Tekonurmi with only 6 points collected from 7 Kakkonen games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-3. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

The fans are hoping that TPV will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Kakkonen game against Ilves II (placed 10th). The game against Ilves II was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality.

Preceding that game was the away draw at I-Kissat that finished 2-2.

The match schedule is unforgiving for TPV as they have a new game in only four days, a Kakkonen match thankfully also at home. KaaPo are visiting.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for TPV here at Kauppi 2 Tekonurmi in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 7 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.

PIF form and stats

As the visiting team in Kakkonen matches, PIF have produced an overall stat of 4-1-2 so far. The fact that PIF have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

The supporters enjoyed PIF's previous game versus SalPa (placed 4th), a Kakkonen 3-1 win played at home.

Preceding that game was the away victory against EPS with the score of 4-0.

PIF have another game that requires travelling in just three nights, a Kakkonen game against Honka Akatemia. A grim itinerary for the visiting team!

The travelling fans enjoy PIF's attacking play in away games, having scored 12 goals in 7 league matches away. PIF have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
