KPV v HIFK betting guide: Not much separates the two teams

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.

This pitch has grass, which is not HIFK's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass HIFK have performed like this: Played 13 matches resulting in 5 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats with the goal stats 24-20 (scored/conceded).

KPV form and stats

KPV, who have the fewest points (1) at home in Veikkausliiga, have played 4 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).

KPV drew their last game, also a home match. Lahti was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Heartbreak before that as KPV lost 1-3 at KuPS's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with KPV perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with KPV as a small favourite), we find one game. KPV has won 0 of these, drawn 1 and lost 0.

KPV have scored 0 goals here in 4 matches, a depressing statistic. KPV have conceded 7 from these games.

HIFK form and stats

Still no away game victory for HIFK with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

There were no winners in HIFK's previous match, a Veikkausliiga home game that ended 1-1 vs KuPS. A draw for HIFK before that, at their own venue hosting Mariehamn (1-1).

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

HIFK are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels and have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. HIFK have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.
