This could be an interesting match as MP have their presumed home advantage while KTP are ahead 10 points in the Ykkonen table.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Ykkonen match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Mikkelin Urheilupuisto. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, KTP have had more rest.
MP form and stats
The story so far in the Ykkonen for MP at their home stadium (Mikkelin Urheilupuisto) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. There’s a good atmosphere here at Mikkelin Urheilupuisto after three straight home wins.
The MP supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host MYPA in Ykkonen and win 4-0. Heartbreak before that as MP lost 0-3 at EIF's place.
As mentioned above, MP "killed" MYPA in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The manager J. Pasoja will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Oulu in only four days.
A decent goal production from MP in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 9 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
