National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's SJK Akatemia or SJK that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither SJK Akatemia nor SJK as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
SJK Akatemia form and stats
Last season, SJK Akatemia's Finland Cup journey ended in the 8th finals.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for SJK Akatemia's two home games in the Ykkonen so far this season, having collected 3 points here at OmaSP Stadion.
Happy days for Akatemia in their previous game, a fixture away at KPV that ended with a 3-0 victory. SJK Akatemia decided the match against KPV in the first half, and held firmly on to their lead (3-0) without using too much effort. The team showed great control while saving some energy.
Before that game, the home loss against TPS with the scoreline 0-2.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Gnistan are coming to town in four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the SJK Akatemia at home in the league. 4 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Before that, SJK travelled to Haka and returned home with a draw after the Veikkausliiga game finished 1-1.The schedule is very tough for SJK now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Veikkausliiga game at Oulu is waiting in only three days.
