It's early days in the Ykkonen and both KPV and EIF 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.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
KPV's stadium, Kokkolan Keskuskenttä, has a grass surface. EIF have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for EIF when playing on grass; 5 wins, 5 draws and 17 losses from 27 matches. They have scored 29 goals in these games and conceded 57.
