The league table in Kakkonen tells a story about these teams so far, with KaaPo leading EPS by 16 points. Match preview to follow:
It's no vacation for neither KaaPo nor EPS as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting EPS have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 0-2-2 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.
