PKKU form and stats

When playing at home in the Kakkonen, PKKU have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 3 games.

A good away victory last time out for PKKU, who won 4-3 against PPJ (placed 7th). A goal frenzy last time out for PKKU, with a total of 7 goals in the match against PPJ. Fun stuff to watch!

Preceding that match was the home game against NJS that was lost 2-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

PKKU have conceded 5 from these games.

PeKa form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Kakkonen for PeKa with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Impressive finishing secured the home win 1-0 against Reipas in their previous game.

A 1-1 draw at Kiffen's stadium before that.

PeKa are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats. From a total of 5 matches.

After this away game PeKa return home for a Kolmonen game against Kultsu. That game is only one sleeps after this.

3 goals so far away for PeKa, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 6. All from 3 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Stats for the last two meetings involving these two sides are: one win for PKKU, one draw and zero wins for PeKa. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.
