There’s just the one game being played in the Finnish top flight on Monday but nevertheless an important one as Championship Round candidates, SJK and Inter Turku face-off as the betting tips continue at the OmaSP Stadion.
SJK Prediction- Can SJK bounce back?
SJK occupy the last Championship Round spot in 6th place in the Veikkausliiga but are hanging on by just a thread and a 2-point margin.
The chasing teams such as Mariehamn, HIFK, Lahti and RoPS are all on 15 points apiece and the pressure is now on SJK to get a result in this clash.
The hosts have managed to record just 1 win out of their last 6 matches overall in the Finnish top flight which was a 1-0 win away at KuPS.
However, recent defeats to Honka and HIFK have slowed down SJK’s progress up the table and have allowed the chasing teams to catch up.
Results at home have produced a mixed return so far this season as their overall home record that stands at 2-1-2 3/3 indicates.
Wins against HIFK and KPV, both by 1-0 margins have been offset by losses on home turf at their OmaSP Stadion to Ilves and Honka.
Goals have been in short supply on home soil this season, and forward Oliynyk (5 goals) looks to SJK’s best hopes of a goal here.
Inter Turku Prediction – Can Inter Turku continue ascent up table?
By contrast, Inter Turku head into this Monday afternoon encounter against SJK as one of the form teams in the Veikkausliiga right now.
The visitors have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 8 matches overall, which was a slightly surprising 3-2 loss at home to Ilves.
Inter Turku have posted 5 wins out of these last 8 matches though which has helped them up into 5th spot in the Finnish top flight.
Victories over HJK, RoPS, Mariehamn, KuPS and KPV have given them the necessary momentum to make a serious challenge for further honours this season.
Upon first glance, an away record of 3-2-2 12/10 doesn’t appear to be too impressive, but recent results on the road have also improved.
They’ve lost just 1 of their last 6 matches on their travels, and have gained wins at VPS, Mariehamn and KPV in the process.
In addition, forwards Valencic (9 goals), Furuholm (6 goals) and Ojala (3 goals) should ensure the visitors get something out of this trip.
