There's seemingly a notable contrast in quality between these sides based on the league table so far, with JS Hercules leading Kemi City by 27 points.

Insights:
  • 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.

A 0-4 loss hosting VIFK before that.

Kemi City are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 9 games (in the league). For Kemi City, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
