Venue: Tammelan Stadion (5060 seats)

There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Ilves leading RoPS by 17 points.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ilves and RoPS.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting RoPS have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-10-7 (win-draw-loss) from 24 matches.
