The season is still fairly new and the Kakkonen table has to be read with caution. So far Gnistan find themselves in 1st position and KaaPo are placed 2nd.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting KaaPo have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 8-3-9 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.
