KaPa team overview
KaPa arrive at Markku.fi Areena looking to maintain winning form after a fine 3:1 victory against JäPS last time out.
Yllson Lika scored twice, including a stoppage-time strike, as Lari Lummepuro’s men claimed the spoils.
A mixed run of form has seen KaPa win two but lose three of their last five league fixtures. Recent road results have been poor, wth three successive away defeats recorded in the past two months.
The visitors now sit eighth in the Ykkosliiga table, with only15 points picked up from 12 matches.
KaPa did hold PK-35 to a 0:0 draw earlier this season, and another disciplined defensive performance will be needed if they are to take anything from Friday’s derby.
Lari Lummepuro’s men have no reported injury issues this weekend.
