EIF will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 19 points behind TPS.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting TPS 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 3-2-8 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
