The season is still fairly new and the Ykkonen table has to be read with caution. So far MYPA find themselves in 11th position and Kajaani are placed 9th.
MYPA and Kajaani should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
MYPA form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Ykkonen game of the season here at Kymenlaakson Sähkö Stadion. Last season these fans witnessed 3 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses from MYPA's 13 home games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on MYPA to get some points in this home game.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 220 minutes without scoring a league goal. Vitinho was the last player to find the net.
In their previous game, the manager I. Mäkelä led his MYPA to a defeat in the Ykkonen match away at Jaro. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Kymenlaakson Sähkö Stadion. Prior to that, an away loss at VPS.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for MYPA as they are travelling to their away game against KTP in the Ykkonen. That match is four days after this one.
Early season league goal statistics from MYPA's 1 home game: 1 goal, 2 conceded.
Kajaani form and stats
Kajaani are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Ykkonen, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Kajaani might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. EIF proved too strong as Kajaani slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Kajaanin liikuntapuisto. A 1-2 defeat away at MP before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Kajaani are hosting Oulu in the Ykkonen only four days away.
It's early days yet, but Kajaani has scored 3 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
As for the last three games between these two teams, there's zero MYPA victories, two draws and one Kajaani win. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, zero matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
