The Ykkonen league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. MP and MuSa are placed 7th and 5th respectively.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
MP form and stats
Only two Ykkonen home games for MP so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
It's back home for MP, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating KTP away with the result 3-2. A. Räisänen (2) and A. Manninen found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, MP won a home game hosting Kajaani (2-1).
The manager J. Pasoja will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Gnistan in only four days.
At Mikkelin Urheilupuisto, MP has the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
MuSa form and stats
MuSa are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Ykkonen, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).
MuSa had fun at their own home (Mikkelin Urheilupuisto) last time out, beating Gnistan 5-1. J. Aalto and J. Frederiksen (4) scored. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at SJK Akatemia.
As you can tell from the results above, MuSa was very dominant against Gnistan, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-1 (!) with J. Aalto and J. Frederiksen (4) providing the goals. J. Frederiksen certainly enjoyed MuSa's last game versus Gnistan, appearing multiple times in the match report with four goals and the 5-1 victory.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by MuSa in our archives, and the results are: one win for MuSa, one draw and one defeat.
After this away game MuSa return home for a Ykkonen game against EIF. That game is only four sleeps after this.
MuSa have scored 3 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. MuSa are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 1 goal away.
