With their 13 point advantage in the league table, MP fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against SJK Akatemia.
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.
MP form and stats
MP's struggle is real here at Mikkelin Urheilupuisto with only 7 points collected from 7 Ykkonen games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-4.
MP's last game was hosting Gnistan (placed 10th) and winning 3-1. 1-1 away at MuSa before that.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from MP's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn zero and lost one.
MP has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. On the other hand, MP have conceded 10 goals.
SJK Akatemia form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for SJK Akatemia, who have the fewest scored goals (14) in Ykkonen, so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-8 (win-draw-lose). The manager T. Dunne is not happy with the away performances in the Ykkonen so far, as all 8 matches have been lost. A depressing eight defeats in a row for Akatemia in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus JBK.
SJK Akatemia won their last game, 2-0 versus KPV played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Gnistan wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Akatemia defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 24 goals in their away games.
