JäPS form and stats

JäPS have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Ykkonen. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

The JäPS goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 187 minutes without conceding a goal in the Ykkonen.

JäPS shared the glory with Gnistan in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0.

A 0-0 result against EIF (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) before that one, played at home in the Finland Cup. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how JäPS have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as JJK are coming to town in four days.

JäPS are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games.

SJK Akatemia form and stats

It's not happening yet for SJK Akatemia on their Ykkonen travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in SJK Akatemia's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Akatemia won their last game, 2-0 versus KPV played at home.

A 0-2 defeat away at MP before that.

SJK Akatemia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.

SJK Akatemia have another fixture that requires travelling in just four nights, a Ykkonen game against Gnistan. A hard calendar for the visiting team!

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Akatemia's away games in the league this season with only {1 goals} from 3 matches.
