The season is still fairly new and the Kakkonen table has to be read with caution. So far Jazz find themselves in 8th position and SalPa are placed 5th.
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.
