This could be an interesting match as KuFu-98 have their presumed home advantage while JBK are ahead 3 points in the Kakkonen table.
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.
KuFu-98 form and stats
The story so far in the Kakkonen for KuFu-98, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Kakkonen, at their home stadium (Savon Sanomat Areena) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. It's trouble wherever KuFu-98 are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for KuFu-98, their manager J. Kasurinen and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
T. Heiskanen was the last player to score a league goal for KuFu-98 and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as KuFu-98 haven't scored in 202 minutes.
The KuFu-98 fans got no joy from their last match, a Kakkonen game also here at Savon Sanomat Areena: A 0-2 defeat against Vaajakoski (placed 6th). Preceding that match was a defeat to JS Hercules (0-2).
