JäPS form and stats

JäPS have collected 7 points from their Ykkonen home games so far after 2-1-2.

The regulars are hoping that JäPS will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the game against KäPa (placed 7th). The penalty miss from Holopainen in the defeat against KäPa was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus JJK that ended 1-1.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does JäPS handle that role? We have found 5 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

The match schedule is unforgiving for JäPS as they have a new game in only four days, a Ykkonen match thankfully also at home. TPS are visiting.

The JäPS fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. JäPS's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

SalPa form and stats

The visitors are W1-D0-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Ykkonen. With the SalPa losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

SalPa delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Inter Turku in their previous game; a Finland Cup duel.

A loss against Gnistan was the result prior to that, in a Ykkonen home game.

SalPa are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.

Defensive performances away have varied in quality as SalPa have conceded 8 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
