It's still early in the Kakkonen season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the OLS - VIFK preview!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting VIFK 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 5-4-13 (win-draw-loss) from 22 matches.
OLS form and stats
Only two Kakkonen home games for OLS so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
A good away victory last time out for OLS, who won 1-0 against PS Kemi (placed 7th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting KuFu-98 (1-5).
OLS has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
VIFK form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Kakkonen ended in defeat. Last season VIFK had these away match statistics: Played 11; won 1, drew 3 and lost 7. With the VIFK losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
VIFK might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. JIPPO proved too strong as VIFK slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Kaarlen kenttä. A 1-4 defeat away at PS Kemi before that.
VIFK have the goal stats of 1-4 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last six matches): OLS one win, four draws and VIFK one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
