Team News: IF Gnistan
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the lone fitness concern for the IF Gnistan gaffer Jussi Leppälahti to contend with from an otherwise complete squad. Evgeniy Bashkirov (Knee surgery) will miss out.
🧠
Prediction
Our thinking is that FC Lahti and IF Gnistan could well cancel each other out, with goals at a real premium.
Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level and two clean sheets. Our tip is therefore for a very close game with a 0-0 score when the full-time whistle blows.
