KPV hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 10 points and a 11th position in the Veikkausliiga table. Visiting SJK holds 5th place with 26 pts.

It's no vacation for neither KPV nor SJK as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This stadium uses grass, unlike SJK's home stadium. The visitors last 20 games on grass have ended in 5 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses.
