- Riverball have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
- All of Kings's away-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.

Riverball form and stats
Riverball have played three Kolmonen home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Riverball with their four defeats in a row. Not since the LehPa game, 38 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Riverball played out a surprising defeat 0-5 against Kuopion Elo in their previous game, also played at home. Riverball were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Jyvaskyla Blackbird (3-4).Early season league goal statistics from Riverball's 3 home games: 3 goals, 9 conceded. When Riverball hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like SaPa Pieksamaki, KeuPa and Warkaus), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
Kings form and stats

Impressive finishing secured the home win 1-0 against Jyvaskyla Blackbird in their previous game.
A 0-4 defeat away at Barca before that.Kings are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. As for defending, Kings rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 5 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
