PKKU form and stats

No Kakkonen points yet away for PKKU, from their first 2 matches. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on R. Hakanpää, the PKKU manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Home advantage was not enough for PKKU in their previous game, as they lost their Kakkonen-match, hosting Honka Akatemia, 2-5. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Reipas.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Honka Akatemia was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

It's early days yet, but PKKU has scored 3 and conceded 7 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last five matches): NJS one win, one draw and PKKU three victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
