- JS Hercules have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Kemi City have the most conceded goals (47) in Kakkonen
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
The season is still full of potential for Hercules as they can still win the whole Kakkonen.

Kemi City form and stats
There's been little loot from Kemi City's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the Kakkonen. Kemi City only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. Kemi are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the RoPS II fixture.
Kemi failed to get anything from their last game, a Kakkonen home match vs JS Hercules (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-5. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against JS Hercules was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
