Competition: Finland Kakkonen
Competition: Sat 24.October
Match begins: 11:00 (UTC)
Venue: Amiksen tekonurmi

PEPO and PK-35 are both riding high in the Kakkonen with their 2nd and 1st positions respectively. Expect a great game!

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting PK-35 have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-5-9 (win-draw-loss) from 22 matches.

PEPO form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Amiksen tekonurmi as PEPO have scored 16 goals to get 17 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the Kakkonen are 5-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). The team is doing great wherever they are playing as PEPO has won six games in a row. The MiPK match was the last time out without a victory. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for PEPO, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

The PEPO goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 224 minutes without conceding a goal in the Kakkonen.

A nice win for PEPO last time playing, versus Reipas. That was also a home game and the match ended 6-0. Before that match, a win away at Kultsu.

As mentioned above, PEPO "killed" Reipas in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

PEPO can score goals in their home matches. After 8 league matches they have found the net 16 times. It's worth mentioning that 11 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. PEPO have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 4 goals.
