TPS Turku
- FC TPS Turku are unbeaten at home in Veikkausliiga 2026, averaging 2.00 goals scored and just 0.50 goals conceded in 2 matches.
- TPS have started Veikkausliiga 2026 with 7 points from their first 3 matches and currently occupy third position in the table, while IF Gnistan Helsinki are bottom of the league with 0 points.
- Ivan Pinol’s side are a 4-2-3-1 side that play with patience and possession in the first two-thirds of the field before looking to unlock compact defenses with the tempo and width of their full backs.
