It's early days in the Ykkonen and both KPV and Oulu 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.
KPV and Oulu 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.
KPV form and stats
KPV have less points than they have played home games in the Ykkonen so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
KPV drew their last game, also a home match. EIF (placed 2nd) was the opponent, 2-2 the score. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting MP.
Opportunity lost for KPV in the EIF match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. The hometeam coach J. Uotinen made a successful contribution in the game against EIF, bringing on H. Heiermann who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw.
