Competition: Finland Ykkonen
Date: Mon 13.May
Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: Arto Tolsa Areena (4780 seats)

It's early days in the Ykkonen and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

KTP and EIF should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting EIF have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-4-13 (win-draw-loss) from 22 matches.

KTP form and stats

KTP's first home game here at Arto Tolsa Areena ended with defeat. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats from 13 matches. KTP has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager A. Arbeiter and the players. The KTP manager A. Arbeiter might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

KTP lost their last game at Haka after a 3-6 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Oulu (0-1).
