Haka are welcoming TPS for another important game after their 2-1 result against 4th-placed Honka.
Haka form and stats
Haka's results here at Tehtaan kenttä in the Veikkausliiga have been very modest with 0 victories, 2 draws and 7 defeats. With nine home Veikkausliiga games in a row without a win, the Haka fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the MYPA game long ago, can be stopped today.
A good away victory last time out for Haka, who won 2-1 against Honka (placed 4th). Ahead of that match, Haka lost 0-2 at home to RoPS.
Things did not look good last match, when J. Häkkinen got a red card in the 85th minute. They were already behind at this time, but a tremendous finish from Haka resulted in a win!
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Haka have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost zero.
There will be little rest for Haka after this match as they are travelling to Lahti for a Veikkausliiga game in only three days.
Haka aren't scoring a lot here at Tehtaan kenttä in the league, with only 7 goals from 9 games. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Haka having conceded 23 goals here at Tehtaan kenttä so far.
TPS form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for TPS so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-6 (win-draw-lose).
TPS play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Ilves (placed 5th). Before that, TPS travelled to HJK and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.
TPS lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
TPS are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, three draws and five defeats. From a total of eight matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as TPS are hosting RoPS in the Veikkausliiga only three days away.
The attacking power of TPS when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 9 league matches away. TPS have conceded 19 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; TPS - Haka 2-3. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Haka won four games, one match ended with a draw and TPS has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / sixTop Goalscorers
