Rovaniemi vs SJK Prediction & Betting tips
The football World Cup in Russia is over and in some countries already starts the league season on the weekend. The Veikkausliiga are based on the calendar year and are already in full swing. At the weekend, the 20th matchday will take place in the highest Finnish league. The betting base illuminates the game between Rovaniemi and SJK Seinäjoen for interesting tips for all readers. In a catch-up match, the two teams met only a few days ago. SJK prevailed in their own stadium with 2: 1. Can RoPS fight back? Are you betting on the hosts in Rovaniemi – SJK Seinäjoen? This must answer the facts. The kick-off at Keskuskentta Stadium takes place at 15:00.
Rovaniemi:
The team from the capital of Lapland is currently ranked second in the table. She still has one more game to play than the leaders HJK Helsinki, but the gap is already juicy ten points. The reason for this is the defeat in the catch-up game against SJK, which they have missed the shortfall to seven points. There is enough time in Helsinki to be dangerous again, as they are playing a three-way round in Finland. At the moment, RoPS still has a lead of five or six points on the following teams. In order not to be put under any further pressure from these teams and to retaliate for the 2-1 defeat against SJK, Rovaniemi will certainly do his utmost to retain the three points in his own stadium. The conditions are not bad. With 19 points they are the second best home team. Seven points have been scored in the last three home games. Wins came against Vaasa (1-0) and Ilves (2-0), while it was only a goalless draw against Turku. They have only allowed four goals in the home games. Best goal scorer in the team of coach Toni Koskela is the Macedonian Filip Ivanovski, who scored six goals. After running out empty two times, he will surely be hot to score his seventh goal.
SJK:
After three games without defeat SJK had to take a damper on the final day. At Inter Turku, it put a 0-2 defeat. After 16 minutes, the home team scored the two goals. Even a 45-minute majority, Mansally had to leave the court with yellow-red, did not help the guests to score the goal. So they had to head home empty-handed. Previously, Seinäjoen had been undefeated for three games. In addition to home victories against Rovaniemi PS (2: 1) and Lahti (1: 0), they achieved a 1-1 at Kuopion PS. Overall, the away record of Aleksey Sr. Eremenko’s team is just too bad. Only a single victory could be achieved on opposing place. In the last eight championship games in the distance, they could not get a threesome. Only three times it was enough for at least a draw. In the table SJK is thus in ninth place in the 12 league. The lead on the relegation place is just four points, so they have to be careful not to slip further into the relegation battle. However, it is questionable whether the team is strong enough to score in Lapland. Only six times the opposing goalkeeper could be defeated in an away game.
