It's a fresh beginning in Kolmonen - the first fixture of the season. Read this full preview and see how PK-37 and Riverball did in their pre-season training matches!
Both squads have had time to rest since their previous competitive action. Let's aim for an in-your-face game!
PK-37 form and stats

PK-37 are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W2 D2 L7.
