SJK Preview – Can SJK make it five?
Following a worrying 10-match drought without a win in the Finnish top flight, Wednesday’s hosts, SJK, have suddenly clicked into gear by winning their last four league matches on the trot which has helped lift the hosts up into the top six pack and possible contention for a place in the Championship Round.
Recent wins against RoPS, Inter Turku, Haka and Inter Turku (the latter two victories both being away from home), will give SJK plenty of confidence and momentum heading into this upcoming clash at their OmaSP Stadion where they’ll be hoping they can chalk up a fifth win on the bounce.
SJK possess an overall home record which stands at 3-2-2 9/9 but after making a slow start, the hosts have won their last two home matches on the trot while forwards Ledesma (formerly of Middlesbrough and Brighton) and Lepisto (3 goals) will be looking to make it three on the trot here.
FC Lahti Preview – Can Lahti stop the rot?
FC Lahti find themselves in the lower reaches of the Veikkausliiga in 9th place on the Finnish top flight ladder following a disappointing run of six matches without a win which includes defeats to Ilves and KuPS, along with four draws.
The visitors had previously posted a promising five-match sequence without defeat in the Veikkausliiga which included wins over TPS, Ilves and RoPS, but they’ve since imploded and this has resulted in Lahti dropping down to 9th place and a point adrift of their hosts.
Perhaps FC Lahti’s biggest achilles heel though has been their inconsistency away from home as they’ve been unable to pick up wins or put together unbeaten sequences with any regularity and this is evident as Lahti have won just three of their last 12 matches on their travels.
