SJK take on the visitors Mariehamn at “OmaSP Stadion” in the Finnish Veikkausliiga. The match will be played in Seinajoki on Saturday, May 26th.
SJK suffer greatly in this season. The team changed significantly comparing with the previous season as nearly 80% of the squad had been rotated and a new head-coach had been appointed. Besides, the side’s effectiveness in attack decreased dramatically because its main striker had also left the club, as a result, SJK scored only six goals in eight prior battles.

In their turn, Mariehamn have lost two latest clashes within the elite division. However, those failures happened against KuPS which belong to the leading quartet and Lahti which are quite a tough team, claiming for the high positions in this season. Still, it should be noted that before that unlucky streak, “Saarelaiset” have not tasted a failure across four consecutive encounters against the rivals of the same level or the lower one.
SJK celebrated only one victory over Mariehamn in their last five head-to-heads. Last season “Saarelaiset” earned a draw at “OmaSP Stadion”. I consider Mariehamn to be the favourites of the forthcoming fight despite their horrible play in defense as I do not believe that the visitors will lose the third battle in a row.
Prediction for the match: Mariehamn to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X2).
