The Kakkonen league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. PK-35 and NJS are placed 5th and 7th respectively.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not NJS's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf NJS have performed like this: Played six matches resulting in 1 win, 1 draw and 4 defeats with the goal stats 4-11 (scored/conceded).
PK-35 form and stats
The hosts won their first Kakkonen game here at FAIR PAY Areena, lifting spirits. Home statistics for PK-35 last season were 1 win, 0 draws and 0 losses from 1 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for PK-35 after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The PK-35 goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the Kakkonen.
PK-35 manager J. Siikava and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Honka Akatemia (placed 6th) in the Kakkonen. Ahead of that match, PK-35 won a home game hosting Viikingit (3-0).
PK-35 has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
NJS form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Kakkonen ended in defeat. Last season NJS had these away match statistics: Played 11; won 4, drew 2 and lost 5.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 3-0 against PEPO in their previous game. A 1-3 loss hosting MiPK before that.
It's early days yet, but NJS has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
