GBK are hosting OTP for another key fixture following their 4-2 result versus 7th-placed Vaajakoski.
- GBK have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting OTP have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-2-1 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
