Time for an exaggerated kneejerk reaction again, KPV has been actually as bad as OPS-jp during the past few months if we disregard that Warkaus JK win, where the visitors played almost half of the game with a 9-man squad. In other words, their ranking needed to be downsized a lot. AC Kajaani could be a little rusty, as their last "competitive" game was nearly three weeks ago. Like you can see from the table, they've mastered the rather important art of winning so without actually seeing the games there's not much you can say about them. Other than those few games against PK-37 and PS Kemi, they've ran almost unopposed for most of the season. Of course, away games can be tricky, like we could see from PS Kemi's bumbling yesterday and AC Kajaani is no exception to that as almost all of their dropped points have been in away games, but overall there's a big difference in quality and most likely in form too so let's hope that ACK will not pull a Kemi today.


FC YPA - PK-37 36 21 43
o/u 2.5: 70 30

If I wasn't fully sold on YPA's upward form before, I can't really argue against it after they completely manhandled GBK last week. They're now practically playing with a full squad, so for once the excuses have been likely valid. Against most teams it would probably be a good idea to ride the YPA train, but PK-37 deserves to be given credit for their good season. They're one of the few teams, or probably the second team along with ACK, who are able to pull consistent performances round after round, so despite their non-star-studded squad it's not really a fluke that they're second in the league. PK-37 missed their playmaker Sirviö (né Rönkkö) last week, but he should be back now.
