An important duel in the bottom section of the Veikkausliiga, with both SJK and RoPS experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 12th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
SJK form and stats
1 victory, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what SJK have to build on here at OmaSP Stadion in the Veikkausliiga. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.
SJK are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 390 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by N. Markkula).
In their previous game, the manager J. Honkavaara led his SJK to a defeat in the Veikkausliiga match away at HJK. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at OmaSP Stadion. Ahead of that match, SJK lost 0-2 at home to Honka.
SJK have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. SJK's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
RoPS form and stats
RoPS, who have the most conceded goals (12) away in Veikkausliiga, are still without points from their Veikkausliiga away games. 5 games, 5 defeats. RoPS are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Inter Turku fixture. A depressing five defeats in a row for RoPS in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Inter Turku.
RoPS aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 393 league minutes without a goal. J. Vahtera was the last player to find the net.
Two away games in a row for RoPS, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Mariehamn in the Veikkausliiga. A loss against HJK was the result prior to that, in a home game.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Mariehamn was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
RoPS are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 5 away games. For RoPS, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (SJK wins - draws - RoPS wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.Top Goalscorers
