After three games we know a little more about the qualities of KuPS and Mariehamn in this fresh Veikkausliiga season. Read our match preview!
KuPS have less rest than Mariehamn in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Veikkausliiga game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Lahti, so at least KuPS are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
5-3-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Mariehamn when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 14 matches are 17-24 (scored/conceded).
KuPS form and stats
