Competition: Thu 08.June
Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: Veritas Stadion (9300 seats)

A total of eight league rounds have been played and TPS are 1 points on top of KäPa. Who will win?

Insights:
  • TPS have the fewest clean sheets (0) at home in Ykkonen
  • KäPa have the most conceded goals (17) in Ykkonen

4-1-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for KäPa when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those eleven matches are 19-21 (scored/conceded).

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Ykkonen game only four days ago.

TPS form and stats

TPS must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Ykkonen games here at Veritas Stadion.

A nice win for TPS last time playing, versus SalPa. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Gero and Karlsson scoring for the victors. At last, a league victory after four matches without.

Heartbreak before that as TPS lost 0-1 at SJK Akatemia's place.

The TPS fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. TPS's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

KäPa form and stats

KäPa are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Ykkonen, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus EIF with 2-3 on the scoreboard. KäPa were so close to getting something from the game against EIF, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.

A loss, in the Finland Cup away at Ilves, before that.

The schedule is very tough for KäPa now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ykkonen game at KPV is waiting in only three days.

KäPa have conceded 7 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

One of the players to grab the headlines has been Lokake with 2 goals scored against TPS in these 1 encounters.
