RoPS form and stats

Let's have a look at how RoPS performed last season in the Veikkausliiga: They landed a 12th position in the league table after playing out 1 victory, 2 draws and 19 defeats. In total they scored 15 and conceded 51 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 0 and lost 10 with 5/26 goals scored/conceded. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in RoPS's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus HIFK.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting PK-35 in just three days.
