SJK hosts KuPS in round 7 of the Finnish Veikkausliiga. The match will be played on Thursday, June 10th at OmaSp Stadion (Seinajoki)
SJK started the last decade in the 3rd division. Having finally climbed to Ykkonen at the end of the 2011-2012 season, the team played there only two years. And in 2014, the newcomer won silver medals at the elite level of the country. As a rule, then a decline follows, but not in this case. In 2015, SJK climbed even higher and became the champion! Then it won the cup and took third place the next year, but gradually the positions were lost. In 2020, SJK was ranked only seventh, and it was the best result in the last three years. Now the team looks good, although its statistics are surprising. Both victories over Oulu and Honka were gained away, and home matches ended in draws against KTP and HIFK and a defeat to HJK.

KuPS took first place in 2019. It was their 6th title, but before that, the Canaries won the trophy back in 1976. They failed to gain a foothold at the top, and the previous season brought only 3rd place. But at the start of the new season, KuPS managed to replenish its piggy bank with a new prize, the Cup of Finland. The start of the championship can also be called quite successful: after a 0-1 victory over Inter Turku, the Canaries managed to stop the current champion of the country, HJK (0-0 at home), and then dealt with Lahti and Mariehamn. But then there was a trip to Ilves, and the opponent won the shootout with a score of 2-3. Playing against Haka at home, the Canaries probably wanted to win, but the opponent was simply underestimated. As a result, the visitors managed to score in the 87th minute and earn three points in Kuopio.
For KuPS, SJK is considered a fairly easy and convenient opponent. The Canaries were able to gain four victories and one draw in the last five head-to-head matches. In February, they won 5-2 in the cup game, but the visitors were even ahead 2-1. Now bookmakers believe that KuPS can again win against a convenient opponent. But the club did not shine in recent games, so it is better to choose neutral Over 2.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
