Kultsu form and stats

It's looking increasingly bleak for Kultsu who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. JäPS was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Home advantage was not enough for Kultsu in their previous game, as they lost their Kakkonen-match, hosting JäPS, 0-5. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Klubi-04.

Kultsu lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.

Let's have a look at how Kultsu performed last season in the Kakkonen: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 4 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 31 and conceded 50 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 3 and lost 5 with 15/22 goals scored/conceded.
