This fixture involves two squads dwelling in the basement of the Kakkonen, PeKa holding 11th place and KuPS Ak. in 10th. A nice chance for one of the contenders to improve their position.
- PeKa have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
- KuPS Ak. have yet to win a game away.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Kakkonen.
PeKa form and stats
PeKa have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Kakkonen. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on PeKa to get some points in this home game.
PeKa faced defeat in their previous match, away at PPJ (2-8). PeKa were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
