This match features two teams living in the basement of the Kakkonen, Kiisto holding 12th place and VIFK lying 11th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

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.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Kiisto form and stats

Kiisto, who have the most conceded goals (11) at home in Kakkonen, have collected 3 points from their Kakkonen home games so far after 1-0-3.

No payout for Kiisto in their previous match, an away game at JBK that ended in defeat 0-1. Ahead of that match, Kiisto won a home game hosting GBK (1-0).

VIFK form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (24) in Kakkonen, on their Kakkonen travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as VIFK have lost on their last two travels.

The attacking players of VIFK have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 219 minutes.

There might be some fixture complaints from VIFK as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Kakkonen match against GBK (0-8). A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting JBK.

VIFK lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-8 beating and focus on this one.

VIFK have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 5 goals have been scored. There are big problems for the VIFK defense as they have conceded 16 goals in 4 away games.

Head 2 Head

Last six meetings between the teams: Kiisto won one, VIFK won three and two draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
