National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's I-Kissat or PK-35 that keep their silverware dream alive.
This stadium has grass, unlike PK-35's home ground. The former twelve games by the guests on grass have given 5 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
I-Kissat form and stats
A nice win for I-Kissat last time playing, versus MuSa. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Ben (2), Kujala and Mkhwanazi scoring for the victors. A very satisfying win for I-Kissat against MuSa last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-2. The win was secured through Mkhwanazi's goal in the 87th minute. The hosts have an in-form goalscorer in Ben, having found the net in four games in a row.
Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Ilves II.The manager Innanen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to HJS Akatemia in only four days.
PK-35 form and stats
Last season their Finland Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.The visitors are W0-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Ykkonen.
Two away games in a row for PK-35, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus EIF.
Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Jaro's place.A quick return to home after this game, as PK-35 are hosting MP in the Ykkonen only four days away.
The attacking power of PK-35 when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. PK-35 are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 3 goals in these matches.
