Ykkonen: EIF host JäPS in what promises to be an action-packed football fixture. Tipsway gives you all the news, stats and facts!

Insights:
  • EIF have not yet lost a game at home.
  • EIF have scored at least twice as many goals at home as JäPS have scored away.

This ground has artifical turf, which is not JäPS's normal surface at their own football field. When playing on artifical turf JäPS have performed like this: Played 13 matches taking 6 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats with the goal difference 27-34 (scored/conceded).

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

EIF form and stats

14 points is a decent return from 6 Ykkonen games here at Ekenäs Centrumplan for EIF. The data says 4 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. Two draws in a row at home now for EIF.

An away draw last time out for EIF, facing Jaro in a game that ended 1-1. Atarah was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Jaro after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Heartbreak before that as EIF lost 1-3 at TPS's place.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from EIF's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 6 games, won 4 matches, drawn 2 and lost 0.

EIF are not conceding a lot of goals here at Ekenäs Centrumplan in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 6 matches.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for JäPS so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose).

JäPS failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs TPS (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 1-2.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of JäPS when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 4 matches with the visitors losing 3 times, drawing 1 and winning 0 games.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting JäPS as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. JäPS struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 10 goals conceded from these games.
