Season ticket holders at Ekenäs Centrumplan haven’t seen too many victories this season, with EIF languishing in the 8th position so far. The guesting KTP will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for EIF and KTP.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not KTP's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf KTP have performed like this: Played twelve matches resulting in 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats with the goal stats 20-20 (scored/conceded).

EIF form and stats

EIF, who have the most conceded goals (13) at home in Ykkonen, have played 6 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for EIF with their four defeats in a row. Not since the MuSa game, 23 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The EIF manager Gabriel Xatart might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The EIF crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-4 to KTP here at Ekenäs Centrumplan in a Ykkonen match. Heartbreak before that as EIF lost 0-4 at TPS's place.

The EIF manager Gabriel Xatart has got the team scoring with 12 from 6 home games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for EIF with 13 goals conceded in these matches.
