The visiting Inter Turku side should be favourites in this visit to TPS, as the away team holds a 22 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.
Inter Turku could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Veikkausliiga game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at RoPS. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
TPS form and stats
Zero (!) Veikkausliiga points is the sad result after 4 matches here. Can it change today? The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the MuSa game. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on TPS to get some points in this home game.
TPS haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 272 minutes ago. J. Peraaho scored that one.
In their previous game, the manager J. Johansson led his TPS to a defeat in the Veikkausliiga match away at Mariehamn. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Heartbreak before that as TPS lost 0-2 at HIFK's place.
The match schedule is unforgiving for TPS as they have a new game in only four days, a Veikkausliiga match thankfully also at home. HIFK are visiting.
The lack of attacking qualities in TPS means that they have only scored 1 goal in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. TPS are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (8 from 4 played).
Inter Turku form and stats
Playing away, Inter Turku have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Veikkausliiga this season.
Inter Turku play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting RoPS (placed 12th). A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs HIFK.
Inter find the net regularly in their away games. 5 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
Head 2 Head
