MYPA stubborn opponents but SavU expect victory

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting MYPA have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 0-1-14 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for SavU and MYPA.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Mikkeli Rantakylä Nurmi as SavU have scored 26 goals to get 13 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the Kolmonen are 4-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). After failing to beat HaPK here at Mikkeli Rantakylä Nurmi, SavU has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.

SavU's previous game was also played at home, ending 4-0 versus MYPA (placed 1st). The home side are looking to build on that result. As mentioned above, SavU "killed" MYPA in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

MYPA form and stats

As the visiting team matches, MYPA, who have the most clean sheets (4) in Kolmonen, have produced an overall stat of 2-1-2 so far. Three has not been a lucky number for MYPA as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Kultsu match.

It might be tough going out on the road again for MYPA, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus SavU (placed 6th). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against SavU was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
