Venue: Salon Urheilupuisto Stadion (2500 seats)

SalPa and HJS Akatemia have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Kakkonen.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting HJS Akatemia have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 1-1-6 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.

SalPa form and stats

SalPa have played three Kakkonen home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Game days at Salon Urheilupuisto Stadion have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for SalPa as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

SalPa's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-6 versus Ilves II (placed 1st). Preceding that game was the away draw at Jazz that finished 2-2.

As you see from the result above, SalPa suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

SalPa aren't scoring a lot here at Salon Urheilupuisto Stadion in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. SalPa's defense is seriously deficient as 13 goals have been conceded in these matches.
