KTP, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Lahti will not have sat easily with the KTP squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Lahti, who had 15 shots on goal with 5 on target.
They have bagged 8 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 14 times in that period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
KTP will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
Ilves, Recent FormIt's fair to say Ilves will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Haka, a match that ended in a 2-2 draw. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Haka's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
He will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, KTP have failed to score a single goal against Ipa. KTP have struggled to break down the Ilves defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Playing at home, KTP have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Ilves.
When playing at home in the league, KTP have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Ilves, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
