Kakkonen: Two participants in reasonably good form get together for this game. JJK with a wee advantage with their 1st position in the standings?
- RoPS have not yet lost a game at home.
- JJK have the most scored goals (23) in Kakkonen
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting JJK have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 5-3-5 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
RoPS form and stats
The story so far in the Kakkonen for RoPS at their home stadium (Rovaniemen Keskuskenttä) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats.
A nice win for RoPS last time playing, versus GBK. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-1. As mentioned above, RoPS "killed" GBK in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
