TPS are welcoming Haka for another important game after their 1-3 result against 3rd-placed KuPS.
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!
TPS form and stats
TPS's results here at Veritas Stadion in the Veikkausliiga have been very modest with 2 victories, 0 draws and 4 defeats. Two home wins in a row for TPS bring valid hopes of a third.
The fans are hoping that TPS will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Veikkausliiga game against KuPS (placed 3rd). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against HIFK.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how TPS have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won one, drawn two and lost three.
TPS has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 6 games. TPS have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Haka form and stats
There's been little loot from Haka's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Veikkausliiga. Haka only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.
The manager T. Tainio was unhappy after their last game, a Veikkausliiga match played at their home ground Tehtaan kenttä. Haka suffered a 0-2 loss to Ilves (placed 6th). A draw for Haka before that, at their own venue hosting Lahti (2-2).
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Haka in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Haka, two draws and one defeat.
After this away game Haka return home for a Veikkausliiga game against SJK. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Haka have scored 7 goals in 6 league games away. In the opposite end, Haka have conceded 10 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for TPS, one draw and three wins for Haka. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
