KTP
LLLLLL โ
KTP will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 0-2 Veikkausliiga loss in their previous game against IFK Mariehamn.
In that match, KTP managed 47% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 3 on target. For their opponents, IFK Mariehamn got 11 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Ariel Ngueukam (13', 23') scored for IFK Mariehamn.
Itโs been seldom in recent games that KTP have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that KTP have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, giving up 13 goals on the way. We will see whether or not that trend will be sustained into this next match.
SJK
WLLLWD
In their last game, SJK drew 2-2 in the Veikkausliiga - Play Offs match with FC Haka.
For SJK, goals were scored by Babacar Fati (35') and Kasper Paananen (88'). Imani Lanquedoc (91') and Anthony Olusanya (93') scored for FC Haka.
The stats donโt lie, and SJK have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 12 goals overall. At the back, SJK have clearly had some problems.

Prediction
In our view, SJK can dominate possession and create several successful chances.
However, KTP might well find it difficult getting on the scoresheet but we can see them hitting back at some stage.
Therefore, we are anticipating a fairly comfortable 1-3 winning margin for SJK at the end of the match.
