It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for MuSa and EIF.

4-6-16 (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 26 matches are 28-52 (scored/conceded).

MuSa form and stats

Overall Ykkonen stats at home this season for MuSa are 2-4-1 (wins-draw-losses).

In their previous game, the manager V. Ulanen led his MuSa to a defeat in the Ykkonen match away at RoPS. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Porin Stadion.

Before that game, the home loss against Gnistan with the scoreline 2-4.

This is expected to be a close game, with MuSa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with MuSa as a small favourite), we find eight games. MuSa has won four of these, drawn zero and lost four.

A decent goal production from MuSa in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. MuSa have conceded 9 in these home matches.

EIF form and stats

EIF have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Ykkonen, after 1-2-3 (6 played). EIF has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

R. Sid was the last player to score for the away team. EIF haven't scored a league goal in the last 211 minutes.

EIF's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus PK-35 that finished 0-0.

A 0-2 defeat away at JIPPO before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with EIF playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were three EIF wins, one draw and two defeats.

EIF have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 6 goals have been scored. EIF have conceded 9 goals in these games.
