IF Gnistan

WLLLLW

IF Gnistan, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 2-3 Veikkausliiga triumph against HJK.

For IF Gnistan, the goals were scored by Didrik Hafstad (27'), Evgeniy Bashkirov (55') and Tim Väyrynen (93'). Lucas Lingman (9') and Teemu Pukki (42') scored for HJK.

Over their past 6 clashes, the sum total of 24 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 4 goals per game) with 9 of them belonging to IF Gnistan. Such a trend isn’t assured to be carried forward here, though.

Looking at their past form shows that IF Gnistan:

• have not won against SJK in their previous 2 league games.
• are without a home win in the past 3 matches in the league.

SJK

ℹ️ Team News: IF Gnistan

Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the IF Gnistan gaffer Jussi Leppälahti to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Marcelo Costa (Knee injury) misses out.

✨ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that IF Gnistan must be fancied to breach the defence of this SJK team, although just one goal likely won’t be enough to give them the result that they want.

We’re going for both teams to score in a 1-2 victory for SJK at the end of this one. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
