TPS are flying at 2nd, while Gnistan are lingering 7 points behind in the standings. Will they shorten the gap?
- TPS have the fewest conceded goals (16) in Ykkonen
- Gnistan have the most scored goals (20) away in Ykkonen
This could be an appealing game with lots of spark and bustle as both sides are well refreshed since they last saw competitive action. Let's get started!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Gnistan 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 6-7-9 (win-draw-loss) from 22 matches.
TPS form and stats
TPS's struggle is real here at Veritas Stadion with only 10 points collected from 10 Ykkonen games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-4.
TPS's previous game was a Ykkonen match also played at home, ending 3-0 versus MuSa (placed 12th). The home side are looking to build on that result.
In the game before, an away victory match versus VPS with a 2-1 scoreline.There will be little rest for TPS after this match as they are travelling to Klubi-04 for a Ykkonen game in only four days.
The TPS fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 12 goals have been conceded.
Gnistan form and stats
As the visiting team in Ykkonen matches, Gnistan have produced an overall stat of 5-1-4 so far. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on R. Duarte, the Gnistan manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
The manager R. Duarte was unhappy after their last game, a Ykkonen match played at their home ground Mustapekka Areena. Gnistan suffered a 0-3 loss to EIF (placed 3rd).
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Klubi-04.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting JIPPO in just four days.
The Gnistan manager R. Duarte has got the team scoring on the road, with 20 away goals in 10 league matches. Gnistan struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 15 goals conceded from these games.
