5 - 4 - 4 with 22-20. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for PK-35 when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. PK-35 play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

PK-35 delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against JäPS (placed 5th) in their previous fixture. Drawing 2-2 against JäPS after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Raimi needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
