An important duel in the bottom section of the Kakkonen, with both GBK and VIFK experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 11th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
GBK form and stats
Overall Kakkonen stats at home this season for GBK are 2-4-1 (wins-draw-losses). GBK has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager C. Corcoran and the players. Two draws in a row at home now for GBK.
GBK lost their last game at Vaajakoski (placed 5th) after a 1-3 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as GBK lost 1-3 at JIPPO's place.
GBK are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (18 goals in 7 games). GBK have conceded 9 in these home matches.
VIFK form and stats
VIFK have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Kakkonen, after 2-0-5 (7 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, VIFK are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
