Finland Preview (17/07/02) by Timo Nieminen


Leicester City will meet two on-form teams when they take on FC Kings and JJK Jyväskylä in Finland this week.

Both teams have 18 points in the Finnish second division after ten games and they are joint second in the table at the moment.

JJK Jyväskylä have gone undefeated since May 22nd. The 1-1 draw versus Mikkeli last Thursday was their seventh game in a row without a defeat. Unfortunately JJK had their biggest star, Turkish striker Sukru Uzuner injured after only three minutes.

Also on the sidelines was young playmaker Pekko Kotamäki, who trained for five months with the Leicester City Youth Academy teams last season.

Both of those players will be fit to meet Leicester on Sunday the 21st. Pekko has good memories of Leicester and is willing to impress versus his "former club", says JJK chairman Janne Särkkä. Almost half of the JJK-goals have been scored with headers this season.

Kings also have two tall strikers on their books, so Matt Elliott and others can expect a good old-fashioned aerial battle both in Kuopio and in Jyväskylä.
