VIFK's stadium, Kaarlen kenttä, has a grass surface. OLS have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for OLS when playing on grass; 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses from nine matches. They have scored {14 goals} in these games and conceded 11.

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.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to GBK (placed 4th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against GBK after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Isokangas needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

That result followed a home victory 5-0 versus JBK.

OLS has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 10 goals from 6 games.
