Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, RoPS II in 7th and VIFK in 8th place.
- RoPS II have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- VIFK have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
RoPS II and VIFK should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
RoPS II form and stats
3-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Kakkonen numbers at home for RoPS II so far this season. RoPS has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager A. Tanner and the players.
The RoPS crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 3-4 to SJK Akatemia here at Rovaniemen Keskuskenttä in a Kakkonen match. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Kemi City (0-3).With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (11 in 5 games), RoPS II's attacking play is working. RoPS have conceded 6 in these home matches.
VIFK form and stats
The visitors are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Kakkonen.
VIFK are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at JS Hercules (placed 4th).
Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Vaajakoski.VIFK are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 4 games (in the league). The VIFK defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 15 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: two wins for RoPS, one draw and zero wins for VIFK. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
