Perhaps a welcome break from league football as HauPa & RoPS face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Finland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
HauPa's stadium, Haukiputaan keskuskenttä, has a grass surface. RoPS have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for RoPS when playing on grass; 1 win, 5 draws and 2 losses from eight matches. They have scored {13 goals} in these games and conceded 14.
The visiting RoPS played their last game only four days ago, a Kakkonen match. That game was also an away game, at VIFK. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Before that game, a fine away win at SCJ. A Finland Cup match.

Last season their Finland Cup adventure ended in the 4th round.RoPS has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to VIFK for a 3-3 draw.
