TPS form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ykkonen this season. TPS have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Veritas Stadion.

Happy days for TPS in their previous game, a Ykkonen match away at VPS (placed 3rd) that ended with a 2-1 victory.

Before that match, a win away at EIF.

MuSa form and stats

MuSa have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Ykkonen, after 1-4-4 (9 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in MuSa's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Fareed Sadat scored in MuSa's previous match, the home game against KPV that ended 1-0.

A 0-4 defeat away at VPS before that.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking MuSa's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won zero of these as expected, zero of them by at least two goals. MuSa managed zero draws and two surprise wins.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. MuSa's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is what happened when the squads met previously this campaign; MuSa - TPS 0-2. Previous five meetings involving these participants: TPS won three, MuSa were winners in one and we saw one draw. two games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
