SJK

LDLLDW

SJK come into this encounter following on from a 3-1 Veikkausliiga win with the downing of FF Jaro in their last game.

For SJK, the goals were scored by Rasmus Karjalainen (11'), Kasper Paananen (29') and Jeremiah Streng (90'). Kerfala Cissoko (87') scored for FF Jaro.

SJK have been effective going forward in their most recent fixtures, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that SJK have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same clashes. We will see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Their prior results show that SJK:

• are winless against Ilves when they've played them away from home in the last 4 matches in the league. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 4 matches in the league.

🧠 Prediction

Our assessment is that SJK are dangerous enough to find the back of the net against this Ilves lineup, but that is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.

We think that it’s going to be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 win for Ilves at the end of the 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
