PEPO vs Ekenas tips and predictions

Nervous verdict says PEPO can get result in Ykkonen encounter

When these sides lock horns it's almost certain to deliver some goals so it should make for an entertaining affair.

The data points to the visiting side being too slim a price in this match-up.

The hosts are going into the match having registered 9 home wins from their last 12.

PEPO will need to focus on the positives to get this done. These home players have found some form on their own ground. They scored two or more times in 10 of their recent 12 home matches while they have conceded no more than once in 11 of their last 15 home games.

Ekenas have actually conceded one or more times in 13 of their last 14 matches. Legitimate scoring chances have been conspicuous by their absence too. Creating chances away from their own turf has proved to be a challenge for the visitors. They've scored one or less goals in 7 of their last 9 away matches.

It's not a very confident prediction and the hosts may feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up with the draw. Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Ekenas. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks more tempting on this occasion.
