Only a few games have been played in the Veikkausliiga so far, with KuPS placed 4th and Haka sitting in the 10th position.
- KuPS have the most scored goals in the first half (5) in Veikkausliiga
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Haka have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 7-4-4 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.
