FF Jaro

vs

IFK Mariehamn

Preview

FF Jaro

• FF Jaro have drawn 1-1 in their last two Veikkausliiga 2026 away games against FC Lahti and FC TPS Turku.
• FF Jaro have won only one of their last ten games in all competitions (Drawn 3, lost 6) and come into Saturday's game under pressure.
• Jens Karlsson has built some structure into Jaro since taking over on 1st January 2026 and they are more likely to win and lose when they play well or badly, which is evident in their results record.
• Jaro are rarely uncompetitive, however, and their possession-based style of play usually offers their wingers the chance to run at the opposition with numbers in transition.

IFK Mariehamn

• IFK Mariehamn have won three and lost two in their last five games in all competitions.
• IFK Mariehamn have won one, drawn none and lost four of their five away matches in all competitions.
• Roberth Björknesjö has kept the side competitive since taking over as head coach in June 2026, mostly through his team's work ethic and a couple of tweaks that have allowed his team to be more dangerous in transition.
• In all of the games they have played since his appointment, Grönvitt have stayed compact and pragmatic, often using a 4-4-2 system or a back-five.
• They beat FC TPS Turku 1-0 at home in their previous Veikkausliiga 2026 game, but away defeats to FC Lahti and SJK showed that they still have a problem on the road.

Head-to-Head

• The last meeting between these two sides was five weeks ago when IFK Mariehamn beat FF Jaro 2-0 at home in Veikkausliiga 2026.
• The head-to-head record between the two clubs in the last two games is 1-1 (with no draws) and this weekend's clash is likely to be another close game with not much between the teams.
• FF Jaro have scored an average of 2.0 goals per game across the last five home head-to-head meetings with IFK Mariehamn, while the visitors have scored an average of 1.3 away goals in their past five visits to this ground.
• The momentum for the home side to win is weakened by the fact Jaro have won only once at Pietarsaaren keskuskenttae in 2026 (Drawn 1, lost 2).
