It's match week two of the Kakkonen campaign and important points to play for. Check out our thorough preview of KuPS Ak.-JIPPO!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Last season KuPS Ak.'s home game statistics were 8 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats from 13 games.
The KuPS Ak. fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at Savon Sanomat Areena: A 1-6 defeat against JIPPO (placed 2nd). KuPS Ak. were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
In the match before that, KuPS hosted Kiffen and drew the game 1-1.KuPS Ak. has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
JIPPO form and stats
Let's have a look at how JIPPO performed last season in the Ykkonen: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 3 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 15 and conceded 28 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 1 and lost 7 with 4/13 goals scored/conceded. A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Kakkonen, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 0 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats from 3 matches. JIPPO love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. JIPPO goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 360 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
JIPPO play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 6-1 victory visiting KuPS Ak. (placed 10th). As mentioned above, JIPPO was the only team on the pitch versus KuPS Ak. in their previous game, winning 6-1. This could be a tougher task.
2 goals so far away for JIPPO, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
