Competition: Finland Ykkonen
Date: Sun 20.October
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Ekenas Centrumplan (2500 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. EIF are in the 6th position while the guests worry at 7th.

It's no vacation for neither EIF nor Oulu 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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Oulu have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 7-1-7 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.
