It's still early in the Kakkonen season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the OTP - JJK preview!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike JJK's home stadium. The visitors last 20 games on artifical turf have ended in 3 wins, 5 draws and 12 losses.
OTP form and stats

An away draw last time out for OTP, facing JBK in a game that ended 2-2. Late drama in the game against JBK as OTP were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until A. Ibiyomi popped out and made it level in the 85th minute.
Before that game, the 4-0 home victory against Kraft.Early season league goal statistics from OTP's 1 home game: 4 goals, 0 conceded.

V. Lepo and N. Kauppinen (2) scored in JJK's previous match, the home game against VIFK that ended 4-0. As you can tell from the results above, JJK was very dominant against VIFK, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with V. Lepo and N. Kauppinen (2) providing the goals.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against SJK Akatemia wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.JJK have the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
