SalPa are already the Kakkonen winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. Akatemia is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season. 2-2-3 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for HJS Akatemia when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf).

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.
