There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with KTP leading Gnistan by 19 points.
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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Gnistan have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-6-13 (win-draw-loss) from 25 matches.
KTP form and stats
The story so far in the Ykkonen for KTP, who have the most clean sheets (8) in Ykkonen, at their home stadium (Arto Tolsa Areena) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
Nothing to worry about in defence for KTP, as their goalkeeper Anton Lepola has completely shut out the opponents for 203 minutes in the Ykkonen.
A strong away win for KTP against MuSa the last match, as D. Ramadingaye, M. Paavola, M. Ogungbaro, A. Mäkijärvi and Mika (2) were on target. Before that game, the 4-0 home victory against SJK Akatemia.
As mentioned above, KTP "killed" MuSa in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
KTP are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found four matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won three, drew one and lost zero.
