The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. EIF are in the 5th position while the guesting MYPA worry at 11th.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Ykkonen.
EIF form and stats
When playing at home in the Ykkonen, EIF have managed 2 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games.
The home team returns to Ekenäs Centrumplan after being equal after 90 minutes with Oulu (placed 1st) on their last time out; the Ykkonen game ended 1-1. 1-1 away at MP before that.
The EIF fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 7 goals in 4 league matches. From these home matches, EIF have conceded only 3 goals.
MYPA form and stats
MYPA are still without points from their Ykkonen away games. 5 games, 5 defeats. Bitter travels for MYPA as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the VPS match.
Home advantage was not enough for MYPA in their previous game, as they lost their Ykkonen-match, hosting MP, 0-1. A home win before that, celebrating 4-2 vs SJK Akatemia.
The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for MYPA we find three games. Results are zero MYPA wins, one draw and two defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as MYPA are hosting KPV in the Ykkonen only four days away.
MYPA have scored 5 goals on their travels this season, from 5 away games in the league. The MYPA manager I. Mäkelä has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: three wins for EIF, zero draws and one win for MYPA. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
