There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
RoPS form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for RoPS's two home games in the Kakkonen so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Rovaniemen Keskuskenttä.
RoPS are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus OLS. The defeat against OLS was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored four minutes into stoppage time (by Kurvinen).
Ahead of that match, RoPS won a home game hosting FC Komeetat (3-0).This is expected to be a close game, with RoPS perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with RoPS as a small favourite), we find 7 games. RoPS has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.
The manager Tanner will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to OTP in only four days.
Early season league goal statistics from RoPS's 2 home games: 4 goals, 1 conceded.
