KTP vs. Haka Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between KTP and Haka, taking place on Friday, 23 May 2025, at Arto Tolsa Areena in Kotka.
KTP, Recent Form
On the back of a tough 4-1 away defeat by HJK, KTP manager Jonas Nyholm will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset.
He is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 19 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 7 goals scored. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 19 games overall.
It's been a terrible run of home form for KTP, not winning any of their last 10 games at Arto Tolsa Areena.
Haka, Recent Form
Haka will not be too troubled by their 3-1 home defeat against KuPS, given the latter currently sit 8 places further up the league table than they do.
It's fair to say that manager Andy Smith will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away 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.
