Veikkausliiga: SJK are 3 points behind Haka, but are psyched to go full force. Get ready!

Insights:
  • SJK have the fewest scored goals in the first half (2) in Veikkausliiga
  • Haka have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Haka have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-2-6 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.

It's no vacation for neither SJK nor Haka as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
