HJK are huge odds-on favourites to win home game vs KPV

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting KPV have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-2-7 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.

HJK form and stats

When playing at home, HJK have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 5 games. Three draws in a row here at Telia 5G -areena for HJK, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

In their previous game, the manager M. Lehkosuo led his HJK to a defeat in the Veikkausliiga match away at Lahti. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Telia 5G -areena. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus SJK.

HJK are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 7 goals in 5 matches. 5 goals have been conceded.

KPV form and stats

Still no away game victory for KPV, who have the fewest scored goals (4) in Veikkausliiga, with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. With two straight losses from their last two away games, KPV are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

KPV delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against HIFK in their previous match; a Veikkausliiga game. A 2-3 loss hosting Ilves before that.

KPV are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games. KPV have conceded 6 goals in these games.
