Relegation battle
RoPS has lost four games in a row and especially the last one against Honka was a very dramatic one after Honka snatching the win by scoring twice in the last minutes of the game. ”We have that game out of our system now, ” says head coach Lumijärvi, but admits that ”it still hurts.”
Lumijärvi is satisfied that the pieces are starting to fit together. ” Now we have enough power in the midfield, and our playmaker Mwaba gets the ball a lot earlier and we go on attacking much quicker. All we need to do now is to more efficient. JJK did win Lahti and scored twice against VPS. We have to take Tommi Kari into special care. I am quite confident that we can take all the points home.”
The only player missing of the Rovaniemi outfit is long-term patient Tenkula who has not yhet played. Zeddy Saileti is likely to return into the squad after resting the game against Honka.
JJK, the promoted team, suffered a 3-2 away loss at VPS Vaasa, but before that got their historic first win against Lahti. JJK head coach Ville Priha knows exactly how important this game is for both teams, ” We clearly need to get a result here, RoPS is one our main rivals this season. Unfortunately RoPS is extremely strong home team, as we have seen against HJK and Honka already.”
JJK needs to change their opening line-up due to suspensions, as Toni Koskela 10/0 and Matti Lähitie 9/0 will not be available.
