Perhaps a welcome break from league football as TPS & KäPa face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Ykköscup. All the pre-match information is available here!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting KäPa have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 2-1-6 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.
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!
