A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and 8th place in the table will show on the pitch.

It's no vacation for neither TPS nor EIF 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.

EIF form and stats

EIF, who have the most conceded goals (14) away in Ykkonen, have only collected 3 points from their away games after 1-0-5 (6 played). Recent form does not give EIF much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. TPS will be a tough nut to crack. EIF has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Two away games in a row for EIF, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus TPS in the Ykkonen. A 0-3 defeat away at Jaro before that.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where EIF played away with similar odds. This revealed three games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 0 times, 1 were draw and the home team won as expected 2 times.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting EIF as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games. For EIF, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the TPS - EIF 4-0 played earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): TPS won 8 games, 2 matches ended with a draw and EIF has 0 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 6 / 4
