SJK form and stats
This stadium, OmaSP Stadion, has been a fortress for SJK in the Veikkausliiga so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 5-1-0.

A good away victory last time out for SJK, who won 2-0 against Mariehamn (placed 11th).
Previous to that game, a home match hosting VPS in a game that was won 2-1.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from SJK's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 6 games, won 5 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.
It should be considered that a peek at the 10 most recent league matches reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).
