An important duel in the bottom section of the Ykkonen, with both Gnistan and MYPA experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 12th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Gnistan form and stats
Three Ykkonen home games done for Gnistan, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Three consecutive losses here at Mustapekka Areena is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
Gnistan are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus EIF. Preceding that match was the home game against MP that was lost 0-1.
Gnistan has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. Gnistan have conceded 6 goals in these home games, a significant number.
MYPA form and stats
The manager I. Mäkelä is not happy with the away performances in the Ykkonen so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. Bitter travels for MYPA as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the VPS match.
MYPA are travelling again after losing away to MuSa in their previous match (1-4). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against KTP wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The MYPA manager I. Mäkelä has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
