This matchup is really close, but both teams use the advantage of home arena in playoff series. Tappara would like to win this game to take the lead 3-2. Previous matches - 2:1 Tappara vic, 4:2 Tappara, 5:4pp JYP and 3:0 JYP. As I mentioned home side were the winners regularly. Even though Tappara lost their away games because of their own mistakes and because of lot of time played shorthanded (often 5 on 3).

The goalies are also level; Tappara´s Mika Lehto (2,43gs/pergame and efficency almost 93%) and JYP´s Pekka Tuokkola (2,20 and almost 92%).

I can as well mention important players of both teams: Tappara relies on Jori Lehtera (3+2 in 4 matches) and JYP trusts the couple Dwight Helminen (3+2) and Jarko Immonen (1+6).

So in my opinion this game will be close but I hope Tappara will be unbeaten at home for another one. GL
