Struggling PKKU will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying JäPS in the upcoming league round. It’s 10th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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!
PKKU form and stats
With 1 Kakkonen win, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, PKKU, who have the fewest points (4) at home in Kakkonen, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home stadium (Kalevan Urheilupuisto nurmi) is supposed to be a fortress, but for PKKU it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
PKKU faced defeat in their previous match, away at PK-35 (0-2). In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting NJS.
A decent goal production from PKKU in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 6 league matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, PKKU having conceded 15 goals here at Kalevan Urheilupuisto nurmi so far.
JäPS form and stats
The visitors are W3-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Kakkonen.
JäPS won their last game, 3-1 versus EPS played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against PK-35 wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, JäPS are regular goalscorers on their travels. JäPS's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: PKKU - JäPS 1-3. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for PKKU, one draw and eight wins for JäPS. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.PKKU missing players
