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, MuSa in 6th and MP in 8th 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!
MuSa form and stats
MuSa, who have the most conceded goals (17) at home in Ykkonen, have collected 15 points from their Ykkonen home games so far after 5-0-3.
MuSa are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Gnistan. Previous to that game, a home match hosting SJK Akatemia in a game that was won 3-2.
There will be little rest for MuSa after this match as they are travelling to EIF for a Ykkonen game in only four days.
Goals decide football matches and MuSa are scoring many of them at home; 17 on target from 8 league matches. MuSa are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (17 from 8 played).
MP form and stats
Playing away, MP have won 4 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Ykkonen this season.
MP are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Kajaani (placed 9th). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Jaro.
MP are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, two draws and two defeats. From a total of four matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as MP are hosting Gnistan in the Ykkonen only four days away.
MP have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 9 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, MP have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
