The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Reipas are in the 8th position while the guesting Viikingit worry at 11th.
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!
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Viikingit's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Viikingit have performed like this: Played 14 matches resulting in 3 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats with the goal stats 31-34 (scored/conceded).
Reipas form and stats
4 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Reipas, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) at home in Kakkonen, have to build on here at Kisapuiston tekonurmi in the Kakkonen.
The Reipas crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Kiffen here at Kisapuiston tekonurmi in a Kakkonen match. Heartbreak before that as Reipas lost 0-6 at PEPO's place.
Reipas are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (21 goals in 8 games). It's worth mentioning that 12 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Reipas have conceded 11 in these home matches.
Viikingit form and stats
There's been little loot from Viikingit's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Kakkonen. Viikingit, who have the fewest scored goals (14) in Kakkonen, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.
It's the second away game in a row for Viikingit, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus NJS (placed 9th) in the Kakkonen last time out. A 0-5 loss hosting Honka Akatemia before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Viikingit are hosting PKKU in the Kakkonen only four days away.
