Kakkonen: What this game might lack in glamour it should make up in energy and dedication. Get set for OLS - Kraft!

Insights:
  • All of OLS's home-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
  • Kraft have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Kraft have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-7-13 (win-draw-loss) from 24 matches.

OLS form and stats

1-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Kakkonen numbers at home for OLS so far this season. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

OLS are returning here after visiting RoPS II in a Kakkonen game and winning with a 3-1 scoreline. O. Lyttinen, L. Ikonen and N. Saira scored the goal(s).

Before that, OLS drew at home versus JS Hercules.

OLS are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. OLS have conceded 6 in these home matches.

Kraft form and stats

1-0-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Kraft in their Kakkonen matches away.

Kraft might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. OTP proved too strong as Kraft slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Mosedal.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus VIFK at their stadium, the result 1-0.

Goals are few and far between in Kraft's away league games. Only 2 goals from 5 travels. Kraft are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 2 goals in these matches.
