The season has been a struggle for Riverball so far, and the same description fits SaPa Pieksämäki. These brave battlers have the opportunity for some vital points here.
- Riverball have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
- SaPa Pieksämäki have the most conceded goals (86) in Kolmonen
For Riverball relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. SaPa Pieksämäki are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.
Both participants have had enough rest since their previous effort on the pitch. Let's agree to expect an energetic match!
Riverball form and stats
With 1 Kolmonen win, 1 draw and 7 defeats from their home games, Riverball are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home Kolmonen games in a row without a win, the Riverball fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.
No payout for Riverball in their previous match, an away game at Kings that ended in defeat 1-3.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Kuopion Elo (0-5).Scoring bonanza? We don't know the future, but we do know that 14 of the 15 latest league matches with this team has seen three or more goals.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Riverball here at Joensuun Koillispuisto tekonurmi in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 9 games).
SaPa Pieksämäki form and stats
There's been little loot from SaPa Pieksämäki's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 9 away games in the Kolmonen. SaPa Pieksämäki only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 0 draws. With the SaPa Pieksämäki losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Home advantage was not enough for Pieksämäki in their previous game as they lost hosting Jyväskylä Blackbird, 0-6. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Jyväskylä Blackbird was particularly ugly (0-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
A 2-5 defeat away at Barca before that.Possible goal fest! This side have played 17 consecutive league games all with three or more goals (over 2.5 goals).
The attacking power of SaPa Pieksämäki when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 9 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. There are big problems for the SaPa Pieksämäki defense as they have conceded 44 goals in 9 away games.
Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: one - one - zero (Riverball wins - draws - SaPa Pieksämäki wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
