Ykkonen: Important and interesting fight between KPV and Gnistan at Kokkolan Keskuskenttä. Both are in need of a good run!

Insights:
  • KPV is in the worst form (0-2-4)
  • Gnistan have scored at least twice as many goals away as KPV have scored home.

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.

KPV's stadium, Kokkolan Keskuskenttä, has a grass surface. Gnistan have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Gnistan when playing on grass; 4 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses from 21 matches. They have scored 24 goals in these games and conceded 44.

KPV form and stats

KPV have played three Ykkonen home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for KPV with their four defeats in a row. Not since the VPS game, 38 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

KPV's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus MuSa (placed 2nd).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting PK-35 (0-3).

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 KPV have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won zero times, drawn one and lost three.

KPV have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the KPV defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Gnistan form and stats

2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That’s the product of Gnistan playing as the away team in the Ykkonen this season.

Gnistan play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Klubi-04 (placed 11th). Gnistan delivered their win in the match against Klubi-04 already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!

A 0-2 loss hosting MP before that.

We have checked recent matches where Gnistan have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were two victories, one draw and one defeat.

Gnistan are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 7 times in 4 away games so far. Gnistan have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: two wins for KPV, one draw and two wins for Gnistan. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
