SalPa form and stats
2-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Ykkonen numbers at home for SalPa so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for SalPa with their five defeats in a row. Not since the KäPa game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. Ahmadi was the last player to find the net.
No payout for SalPa in their previous match, an away game at Jaro that ended in defeat 0-1.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting KPV (0-1).The match schedule is unforgiving for SalPa as they have a new game in only four days, a Finland Cup match thankfully also at home. Inter Turku are visiting.
The SalPa fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 8 goals in 5 league matches. 6 goals have been conceded.
Gnistan form and stats
The visitors are W4-D0-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Ykkonen. A great winning streak in away games for Gnistan as they have managed to win four matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the HIFK have they travelled home without three points.
Gnistan are travelling after their nice 5-2 home win in the match against SJK Akatemia (placed 4th). As you can tell from the result, the match against SJK Akatemia was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Sarr certainly enjoyed Gnistan's last game versus SJK Akatemia, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 5-2 victory.
A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting JäPS.The Gnistan defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({1 goals} in 4 games).
