KTP perform at a high level so far being 2nd in the table. KPV can look both up and down from their 7th position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
KTP form and stats
Overall Ykkonen stats at home this season for KTP, who have the fewest conceded goals (13) in Ykkonen, are 5-2-2 (wins-draw-losses).

As you can tell from the results above, KPV was very dominant against Kajaani, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 8-2 (!) with S. Roiha, C.
