EIF will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 36 points behind Haka.

EIF and Haka should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Haka 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 3-5-6 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches.
