Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Mariehamn & KuPS face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Finland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
This football field has grass, which is not KuPS's familiar surface at their own football pitch. When playing on grass KuPS have performed like this: Played 26 matches producing 16 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats with the goal data 36-20 (scored/conceded).
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Mariehamn and KuPS.
