The season is still fairly new and the Kakkonen table has to be read with caution. So far RoPS II find themselves in 8th position and JS Hercules are placed 2nd.
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!
RoPS II form and stats
RoPS II have only played one Kakkonen game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat from 2 matches.
In their previous game, the manager A. Tanner led his RoPS to a defeat in the Kakkonen match away at KuFu-98. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Rovaniemen Keskuskenttä. A defeat was the result before that one, 3-4 away at JBK.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the RoPS II at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
JS Hercules form and stats
JS Hercules are still undefeated on their travels in the Kakkonen. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
Hercules won their last game, 4-0 versus Vaajakoski played at home. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against JIPPO.
As mentioned above, JS Hercules was the only team on the pitch versus Vaajakoski in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
3 goals so far away for JS Hercules, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): RoPS II one win, one draw and JS Hercules zero victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
