SJK will be wanting a better result here following a 0-1 Veikkausliiga defeat last time out to KuPS.

Urho Nissilä (20') was the scorer for KuPS.

Fewer than three goals per game were scored during 6 of the past 6 fixtures where SJK have been participants. Breaking down the goal weighting in this period, opposition teams scored an aggregate of 5 and SJK got themselves 5. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this game, though.
