Goal Statistics

Universitatea Craiova's fans will be hoping for goals on Thursday evening, not least because Kuopio PS have conceded in each of their last 5 Europa League outings. A PG of 1.6 for F. Amaral Rino Coelho's side suggests that run should continue.

Scoring more than 1 goal looks like a tall order for Kuopio PS, with M. Nuutinen's men having not found the back of the net in 4 consecutive Europa League outings.
