This match features two teams living in the basement of the Veikkausliiga, HIFK holding 9th place and KPV lying 11th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not KPV's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf KPV have performed like this: Played 14 matches resulting in 3 wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats with the goal stats 10-19 (scored/conceded).

HIFK form and stats

HIFK have collected 19 points from their Veikkausliiga home games so far after 5-4-2.

HIFK lost their last game at VPS after a 2-3 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Ilves.

This is expected to be a close game, with HIFK perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with HIFK as a small favourite), we find six games. HIFK has won 3 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

HIFK has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. HIFK have conceded 11 in these home matches.

KPV form and stats

There's been little loot from KPV's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 11 away games in the Veikkausliiga. KPV, who have the most conceded goals (39) in Veikkausliiga, only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. It's all red in the travel logs of KPV, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Veikkausliiga home defeat versus Honka with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Inter Turku's place.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by KPV in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for KPV, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting KPV as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. For KPV, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

HIFK - KPV 3-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. HIFK-KPV H2H statistics last seven meetings regardless of arena: HIFK 4 wins, KPV 0 wins, 3 draws. 4 of these seven matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
