Competition: Ykkosliiga
Market: SJK win
Odds: 3/5 @ Pribet
Knowing that they can officially extend on their Ykkosliiga status on Monday afternoon, SJK will welcome SalPa to the OmaSP Stadion.
Starting with the hosts, managing to claim what was an essential boost last time out as they stormed their way to a 4-1 romp at home against JaPS, SJK will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. Knowing that they can officially extend on their Ykkosliiga status on Monday afternoon, Stevie Grieve̢۪s men have been handed a golden opportunity here. Simply looking to sign off their nightmare 2025 campaign with somewhat of a flurry over the next week, the Kerho have lost each of their other four previous Ykkosliiga appearances. However, despite remarkably failed to muster consecutive wins so far this season, SJK will take plenty of solace from their overall success on home soil. Including an action-packed 5-3 victory against KaPa last month, Grieve̢۪s side have registered nine points from their previous four Ykkosliiga showdowns at the OmaSP Stadion.
As for the visitors, already relinquishing their second-tier status with a real whimper, SalPa have endured a public crisis this season. Sat rock-bottom of the Ykkosliiga table, Jordi Aluja̢۪s side have put just six points on the board from any of their 16 appearances this year. Last seen putting in another downbeat display as they slumped to a 3-1 loss against Klubi, Monday̢۪s guests are desperate to see the back of the 2025 campaign. Getting July underway with an action-packed 4-3 defeat against JaPS, the Salo-based outfit have lost six of their previous seven Ykkosliiga matchups Рa run that stems back to a 0-0 stalemate at home against JIPPO on June 14th. It should also be highlighted, Aluja̢۪s already-relegated squad have mustered just a sole second-tier win this season and are once again pencilled in as a real underdog contender here.
Bet: SJK 3/5 to beat SalPa in Monday’s Ykkosliiga matchup @ Pribet
