The Kakkonen league table tells a story about these teams up until now, with VIFK ahead of OTP by 16 points. Here's the Tipsway preview:
- VIFK have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (3) in Kakkonen
6-2-1 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for OTP when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those nine matches are 20-7 (scored/conceded).
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.
