Season ticket holders at Mustapekka Areena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Gnistan languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting VPS will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Gnistan form and stats
The story so far in the Ykkonen for Gnistan, who have the most conceded goals (26) in Ykkonen, at their home stadium (Mustapekka Areena) is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
Gnistan faced defeat in their previous match, away at KPV (1-6). Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against MYPA.
Gnistan were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Gnistan are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Gnistan have conceded 8 goals in these home games, a significant number.
VPS form and stats
0-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for VPS in their Ykkonen matches away. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in VPS's last three away games as they have all been lost.
VPS delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against MP (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Ykkonen game. Prior to that match, the VPS manager C. Sund faced defeat when travelling to KTP and losing 0-2.
VPS are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 4 away games. The VPS manager C. Sund has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
