Haka vs JIPPO: match statistics

Haka have the home advantage, averaging 2.33 goals per match at home compared with JIPPO’s 1.75 away, while their xG stands at 1.69 versus the opponents’ 1.40. The hosts also record more shots (13.33 per match) and shots on target (5.00) than JIPPO do away from home, at 11.25 and 4.13 respectively, with a finishing efficiency of 18% compared with 16%. Both teams are in good form, but JIPPO remain unbeaten across their last five league rounds, recording 3 wins and 2 draws, while Haka have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat during the same period. The visitors boast the stronger away defensive record, conceding an average of 1.00 goals and keeping a clean sheet in 38% of matches, but Haka should create more chances thanks to their 59% average home possession. The hosts’ attacking edge gives them slightly better winning chances, although JIPPO’s high 38% away draw rate clearly increases the risk of the points being shared.

Recent form clearly supports goals at both ends: Haka recorded BTTS - Yes in 100% of their last 5 matches, while JIPPO did so in 60%. During this period, the hosts scored an average of 2.6 goals and conceded 1.4, whereas the visitors scored 2.0 goals and conceded 1.0. Haka create plenty of chances at home, with an average xG of 1.79 and 5.33 shots on target, while JIPPO allow opponents an average xG of 1.32. The main argument against BTTS - Yes is Haka’s highly solid season-long defence, which concedes just 0.44 goals per home match and keeps a clean sheet in 56% of games; however, their recent defensive performances have been noticeably weaker. JIPPO score an average of 1.75 goals away from home, so they are more likely to exploit this decline in the hosts’ defensive solidity, resulting in both teams finding the net.

The strongest signal is Over 1.5 goals, as JIPPO scores an average of 1.75 goals per match, and at least 2 goals were scored in 88% of its games. Haka has a very solid defense, conceding just 0.44 goals on average and keeping a clean sheet in 56% of matches, but its own xG stands at a high 1.79, compared with the 1.32 xG conceded on average by JIPPO. In Haka’s last five matches, it scored an average of 2.6 goals and conceded 1.4, with all of those games finishing Over 2.5 goals. Over the same period, JIPPO averaged 2.0 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per match, which also supports the scenario of at least two goals. The 2.5 line is more balanced due to Haka’s seasonal profile, with only 22% of matches exceeding three goals; therefore, Over 1.5 goals offers the safer and clearer edge.

A draw at half-time is the most likely starting point, as Haka were level at the break in 67% of their matches, scoring an average of just 0.33 goals and conceding 0.11 in the first half. JIPPO can, however, impose themselves quickly, leading at the break in 50% of matches and scoring an average of 1.00 goals before half-time, so scenarios with the visitors ahead remain a genuine threat. After the break, the advantage shifts more clearly towards Haka: they score an average of 0.78 goals, rising to 1.60 across their last five matches, while conceding only 0.60. The hosts also have a clear edge in chance quality, with an average xG of 1.79 compared with JIPPO’s 1.40, while allowing opponents an xG of 0.85 versus 1.32 for the visitors. The combination of a cautious start and Haka’s stronger second half makes the HT/FT draw/Haka win outcome the most logical choice.
