The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. KPV are in the 8th position while the guesting MYPA worry at 11th.
It's no vacation for neither KPV nor MYPA as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
This stadium uses grass, unlike MYPA's home stadium. The visitors last 28 games on grass have ended in 3 wins, 7 draws and 18 losses.
KPV form and stats
KPV have collected 8 points from their Ykkonen home games so far after 2-2-3.
In their previous game, the manager J. Uotinen led his KPV to a defeat in the Ykkonen match away at EIF. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Kokkolan Keskuskenttä. Before that game, the home loss against MP with the scoreline 1-2.
KPV are traveling soon after this match as the Ykkonen match at Oulu awaits in four days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (14 in 7 games), KPV's attacking play is working. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
MYPA form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for MYPA so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-7 (win-draw-lose). The manager I. Mäkelä is not happy with the away performances in the Ykkonen so far, as all 7 matches have been lost. Bitter travels for MYPA as they have lost seven games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the VPS match.
MYPA's previous game was their home loss versus VPS (3-6). Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Oulu's place.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for MYPA, as mentioned above. 9 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with MYPA as the away team, we found four results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, one draw and three defeats. The outsiders lost three of these games by at least two goals.
A quick return to home after this game, as MYPA are hosting Jaro in the Ykkonen only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting MYPA as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that MYPA concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
