Perhaps a welcome break from league football as STPS & PEPO face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Finland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
PEPO could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Kakkonen game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Reipas, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for PEPO.
STPS form and stats
STPS have not come this way in the Finland Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Juniori STPS and MP II. STPS was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the Finland Cup.STPS are returning here after visiting MP II in a Finland Cup game and winning with a 4-1 scoreline.
Before that game, a nice away win at Juniori STPS. A Finland Cup match.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Kolmonen game versus KeuPa in only three days. This game is also played here at Kesämaa Areena tekonurmi.
PEPO form and stats
PEPO was sent out of Finland Cup in the 4th round last season.It might be tough going out on the road again for PEPO, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Reipas.
The game before that, in the Ykkonen, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against PIF.It's a day of discovery for PEPO as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which PEPO have played two with the results W0-D1-L1 (win-draw-lost). In these games PEPO has scored {2 goals} and conceded 4 times.
