vs

IF Gnistan Helsinki

Preview

SJK

• SJK have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 4 of their 8 home games in Veikkausliiga 2026.
• Jarkko Wiss' side have looked more like a team in the second half of the season since he took charge on 1 January, although their form has tailed off with one win, one draw and three losses in the last five.
• SJK, who have scored only 10 goals in eight home games in Veikkausliiga 2026, look to have a blunt strikeforce on their own turf.

Gnistan

• Gnistan have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches.
• Gnistan have won 3, drawn 3 and lost 3 of their 9 away matches in Veikkausliiga 2026.
• Leppälahti's side have grown into a well-drilled, high-energy outfit that play direct football, press aggressively and love to turn the ball over quickly, springing forward with some quality players up top.

Head-to-Head

• The two sides have a head-to-head record, with Gnistan edging it 3-2 when they last met in Veikkausliiga 2026 two months ago.
• SJK lead the last 5 meetings by 3-1 with 1 draw, although Gnistan have failed to win either of their two previous away league visits to SJK so there is still a bite to this fixture.

Key Players

• Akinyemi is Gnistan's danger man, having scored nine goals in 17 Veikkausliiga 2026 appearances.
• He has stayed sharp during his side's recent run, netting four times during the five-game sequence in which Gnistan have scored nine times.
• Kasper Paananen is SJK's main finishing option with four goals in 16 Veikkausliiga 2026 outings, but their hot hand has been Kelwin do Nascimento, who has three goals in five matches, all of them coming in SJK's last five matches.

Betting Insights

• SJK are available at a shade of odds-on, with the visitors 3.08 and the draw 3.7.
• Both teams to score looks like a good option in the secondary markets given the visitors have only conceded eight goals in nine away games in Veikkausliiga 2026 and SJK have scored only 10 goals in their eight home matches.
