Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, MP in 7th and EIF in 5th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
3-6-18 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for EIF when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 27 matches are 27-59 (scored/conceded).
MP form and stats
Three Ykkonen home games done for MP, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.
MP are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus SJK Akatemia. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Gnistan.
MP has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
EIF form and stats
2-1-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for EIF in their Ykkonen matches away.
Impressive finishing from D. Smith and J. Liukkonen secured the home win 2-1 against Gnistan in their previous game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against MuSa wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
EIF has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 7 goals from 4 games. EIF are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 3 times in 4 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
