The JS Hercules manager M. Isokangas attacks this game with the team placed 1st so far. In the visitors dressing room JIPPO and their manager J. Leppälahti are in 4th place before this match.
JS Hercules and JIPPO should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Hercules's stadium, Oulu-lehti Areena, has a artifical turf surface. JIPPO have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for JIPPO when playing on artifical turf; 2 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses from eleven matches. They have scored 11 goals in these games and conceded 19.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the JS Hercules at home in the league. 2 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
JIPPO form and stats
222 minutes! That's how long the JIPPO goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
JIPPO won their last game, 4-0 versus KuFu-98 played at home. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Inter Turku.
As mentioned above, JIPPO was the only team on the pitch versus KuFu-98 in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
