TPV expected to fight losing battle when facing Haka

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Haka form and stats

Haka, who have the fewest conceded goals (15) in Ykkonen, have been very solid at home so far, with 30 points collected from 10 matches (10-0-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the league table. In general it's been a long time since Haka tasted defeat here at Tehtaan kenttä, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games. Haka has a nice streak going on as they have played 19 consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the RoPS defeat.

Haka's previous game was a Ykkonen match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus TPV. The home side are looking to build on that result. In the preceding match a 4-0 victory visiting MYPA.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Haka is on fire here. A stunning 34 from 10 matches. Haka have conceded 10 in these home matches.

TPV form and stats

TPV, who have the fewest points (3) away in Ykkonen, have only collected 3 points from their away games after 0-3-7 (10 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved TPV have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the EIF game.

TPV play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to Haka. A 1-6 defeat away at KTP before that.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking TPV's match history for similar games we find one match. The home team won 1 of these as expected, 1 of them by at least two goals. TPV managed 0 draws and 0 surprise wins.

The attacking power of TPV when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored in 10 matches. TPV have conceded 24 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Haka - TPV 3-1. Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Haka, 0 draws and 1 win for TPV. Over 2,5 goals: 2 times; under 2,5 goals: 2 games.
