No fear and expected victory for Haka when visiting MYPA

It's no vacation for neither MYPA nor Haka as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Haka's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Haka have performed like this: Played 14 matches resulting in 3 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats with the goal stats 14-16 (scored/conceded).

MYPA form and stats

With 1 win, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, MYPA, who have the most conceded goals (44) in Ykkonen, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for MYPA with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Kajaani game, 41 days ago, have they avoided a loss. It's been an uphill battle for MYPA in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the TPS game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

The MYPA crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-4 to Haka here at Kymenlaakson Sähkö Stadion in a Ykkonen match. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at TPV.

Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of points are very slim. When MYPA have been in this position before, they have won 0, drawn 0 and lost 1 from one game. 1 defeat by at least two goals.

MYPA have scored 6 goals here in 9 matches, not a lot. MYPA are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (20 from 9 played).

Haka form and stats

The strength of Haka, who have the most points (23) away in Ykkonen, on their travels this season is incredible with 23 points collected from 9 away games. Haka has 7-2-0 on the road, with 20 goals scored and 5 conceded. In general it has been a productive period now for Haka as they haven't lost any of their last 18 games. Haka are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played ten in a row without losing.

Two travels in a row for Haka, whose manager T. Tainio could celebrate last time after the Ykkonen win against MYPA. Before that, Haka secured a home win against Kajaani with the score 4-2.
