Form Guide — Last 5
SJK
SJK's recent five games include a 3‑1 home win over Turku PS and a 3‑0 home thrashing of HJK Helsinki, but they also suffered a 0‑2 home loss to KuPS and a 1‑2 away defeat at FF Jaro. The mix of solid wins and heavy defeats shows they can score but also concede, supporting a cautious goal total outlook.
Gnistan
Gnistan's last five feature a 4‑2 home victory over Mariehamn and a 2‑0 away win at AC Oulu, alongside a 0‑1 home loss to KuPS. The three wins demonstrate their ability to keep clean sheets, while the home defeat underscores a limited scoring output, aligning with a sub‑2.5 goal expectation.
Head-to-Head
The last five meetings produced an average of 4.6 goals per game, with the most recent 3‑2 win for Gnistan. This high‑scoring trend runs counter to the under 2.5 pick, highlighting the model's confidence despite the head‑to‑head data.
