This is the Ykkonen season opener for these teams, who are finally competing for points again. Will EIF or Jaro get that important first win?
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Jaro have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 7-3-1 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
EIF form and stats
Last season, EIF's league statistics were 10 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, resulting in a 4th position in the Ykkonen. Over these 22 matches they scored 45 goals and conceded 25. Playing at home last season EIF managed 7-2-2 (win-draw-lost) with 26 goals and 8 conceded.
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 EIF have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for EIF as they are travelling to their away game against MP in the Ykkonen. That match is four days after this one.
EIF have spent many days and weeks preparing for this match, with countless hours on the training pitches and five practice matches played. These training games have ended with 1 win, 0 draws and 4 defeats.

In total they scored 50 and conceded 31 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 3 and lost 3 with 21/19 goals scored/conceded.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Jaro in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Jaro, three draws and two defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Jaro are hosting Klubi-04 in the Ykkonen only four days away.
