JBK form and stats

JBK must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Kakkonen games here at Jakobstads Centralplan.

The spoils were shared in JBK's previous game, also at home. Visiting OTP (placed 7th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline.

Heartbreak before that as JBK lost 0-3 at VIFK's place.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of JBK is on fire here. A stunning 13 from 3 league matches.

OTP form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Kakkonen for OTP with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

OTP has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to JBK for a 2-2 draw.

Before that, 2-2 away against OLS (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties) in the Finland Cup.

{3 goals} so far away for OTP, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.

OTP have put together a sequence of 5 consecutive games without defeat (2-3-0) when playing JBK.
