SJK form and stats

Last season, SJK's league statistics were 8 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses, resulting in a 7th position in the Veikkausliiga. Over these 22 matches they scored 27 goals and conceded 29. Playing at home last season SJK managed 4-2-5 (win-draw-lost) with 14 goals and 17 conceded. A Veikkausliiga draw at home so far for SJK. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from 11 matches.

Heartbreak before that as SJK lost 0-1 at Inter Turku (after extra-time)'s place.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how SJK have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won two times, drawn six and lost six.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the SJK at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
