Ykkonen: TPS expected to win home game against EIF

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.

This stadium uses grass, unlike EIF's home stadium. The visitors last 31 games on grass have ended in 6 wins, 5 draws and 20 losses.

TPS form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Paavo Nurmi Stadion as TPS have scored 11 goals to get 12 points from 6 games. The overall stats are 4-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).

TPS's previous game was a Ykkonen match also played at home, ending 4-0 versus EIF. The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as TPS lost 1-3 at MYPA's place.

TPS are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found five matches and the win/draw/lost stats: W4-D1-L0.

TPS have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Paavo Nurmi Stadion with 11 goals in 6 matches. TPS have conceded 6 in these home matches.

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
