RoPS hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 2 points and a 12th position in the Veikkausliiga table. Visiting Mariehamn holds 7th place with 8 pts.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Mariehamn's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Mariehamn have performed like this: Played 14 matches resulting in 4 wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats with the goal stats 12-19 (scored/conceded).
Mariehamn have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
RoPS form and stats
RoPS have collected 2 points from their Veikkausliiga home games so far after 0-2-2. RoPS has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager V. Tauriainen and the players.
In their previous game, the manager V. Tauriainen led his RoPS to a defeat in the Veikkausliiga match away at Ilves. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Rovaniemen Keskuskenttä. Preceding that match was the home game against TPS that was lost 2-3.
RoPS has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the RoPS defense is not exactly impregnable. 7 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Mariehamn form and stats

Mariehamn have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 6 goals from 3 away matches. The Mariehamn manager L. Syberyjski has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
