KPV put on a good effort against GBK, but in the end it just wasn't enough. Now that they are almost at full strength they could be a team to watch in the near future as there's definitely some potential to not be as bad as their current record shows. However, this is perhaps not the game where KPV's results start to improve, as their opponent FC YPA is probably the hottest team in Finland right now. Pejic has naturally been a big part of that by scoring a staggering 7 goals in three games, but it's not like this is some one-man show. Siira, Morrison, Akmetkhanov, Pakola and especially Maluka are very good players for Kakkonen level. Rest of the serbs, Erceg, Savic and Colovic are totally unknown for me, so can't really comment on them. Ahonen has been a regular starter in defense for years and Junno, who had 7 goals last year has already scored three times, so all in all that's a pretty good line-up. But other than maybe Tirkkonen, there's zero quality on the bench so any injuries could really hurt YPA. The first two games did have some luck involved if the reports are to be believed, but other than the last year's disaster YPA was traditionally one of the top teams so the success doesn't totally come out of nowhere (though the team has changed a lot). YPA has been extremely over-like so far, KPV not so much as their defense is ok but they're severely lacking quality in the front. With 3.25, that seems to be the line in practically every lined match, I'd happily take a pass. KPV's Myntti returned to wreak havoc against GBK, YPA has actually managed to release a preview which says they're fully fit, so that means Maluka should return to the starting line-up.
