SJK play their home matches on artifical turf, while this match will take place on grass. Relevant statistics for SJK when featuring on grass are 9 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats from 14 matches. They have created 15 goals and conceded 10 times in these fixtures.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Veikkausliiga game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at VPS. 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.
Haka form and stats
Haka have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Veikkausliiga. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Haka has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Tainio and the players.
In their previous game, the manager Tainio led his Haka to a defeat away at KuPS. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Tehtaan kenttä.
Preceding that match was a defeat to VPS (0-2).This is expected to be a close game, with Haka perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Haka as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Haka has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 3.
Haka are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. On the other hand, Haka have conceded 4 goals.
SJK form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Veikkausliiga travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
It's the second away game in a row for SJK, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus VPS (placed 9th) last time out.
A loss against Lahti was the result prior to that, in a home game.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with SJK playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 4 SJK wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.
A new game in only four days for SJK, the Veikkausliiga home match versus Mariehamn. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting SJK as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. For SJK, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the former ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Haka, four draws and four wins for SJK. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
