A brief peek at the Ykkonen table indicate an advantage to EIF when they visit PIF. However; let's wait before we award the win!

Insights:
  • PIF have the most conceded goals in the second half (10) in Ykkonen
  • EIF have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Ykkonen

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting EIF have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 2-5-5 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.

This looks to be an entertaining match with lots of action and bustle as both participants are well renewed since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's go!

PIF form and stats

0-0-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Ykkonen numbers at home for PIF so far this season. The home stadium (Pajbackan kenttä) is supposed to be a fortress, but for PIF it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

PIF lost their last game at KTP (placed 6th) after a 1-3 scoreline.

Before that game, the home loss against JäPS with the scoreline 0-1.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for PIF here at Pajbackan kenttä in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games).
