It's early days in the Kakkonen and both SalPa and Atlantis are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Atlantis could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Kakkonen game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at PIF. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
