It's early days in the Ykkonen and both EIF and KTP are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
EIF and KTP should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
It should be mentioned that KTP play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for KTP on artifical turf are 7 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 14 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 31-22.
