Competition: Finland Veikkausliiga
Date: Sun 28.July
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Rovaniemen Keskuskenttä (4768 seats)

The visiting Inter Turku side should be favourites in this visit to RoPS, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.

It's no vacation for neither RoPS nor Inter Turku 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 artificial turf, unlike Inter Turku's home stadium. The visitors last 17 games on artificial turf have ended in 7 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses. Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

RoPS form and stats

With 1 win, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, RoPS, who have the fewest scored goals (10) in Veikkausliiga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home games in a row without a win, the RoPS fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the HIFK game long ago, can be stopped today. It's trouble wherever RoPS are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The RoPS fans got no joy from their last match, a Veikkausliiga game also here at Rovaniemen Keskuskenttä: A 0-2 defeat against Inter Turku. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at HIFK.

The lack of attacking qualities in RoPS means that they have only scored 4 goals in 9 home games, less than half a goal per match. RoPS's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
