National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's PK-35 or SalPa that keep their silverware dream alive.
6-0-7 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for SalPa when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 13 matches are 19-22 (scored/conceded).
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.
PK-35 form and stats
Last season their Finland Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.1-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Ykkonen numbers at home for PK-35 so far this season.
The home fans saw a 1-1 draw versus KPV last time out and are looking for a victory here.
Heartbreak before that as PK-35 lost 0-2 at TPS's place.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ykkonen game versus JaPS in only three days. This game is also played here at MagneCit Areena TN.
PK-35 have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at MagneCit Areena TN with 6 goals in 4 league matches. PK-35 have conceded 5 in these home matches.
SalPa form and stats
SalPa have lots to to correct after their unpredictable loss (1-2) to Ilves II in their previous game, played at their own home ground.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus VJS in the Kakkonen.The schedule is very tough for SalPa now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Kakkonen game at GrIFK is waiting in only three days.
