Seinajoen JK will go head to head with Inter Turku at OmaSp Stadion in what is expected to be fascinating Veikkausliiga game on Saturday.
SJK have made a slow run in the Veikkausliiga this season as they have only claimed three victories and one draw from their 10 league games, while suffering six defeats in the process. They currently sit ninth in the relegation half with 10 points, three places and seven points off the bottom.
Joaquin Gomez’s side suffered 5-3 defeat after penalties to their Saturday visitors in the Suomen Sup last Monday. The match initially ended 1-1 after full time and extra time. Seinajoen have now suffered back to back defeats as they were previously coming off a 1-0 defeat to Oulu in the Veikkausliiga, which ended their four-match unbeaten run across all competitions.
They will now be looking to revenge on Turku in the Veikkausliiga as they seek to get their campaign back on track and out of the relegation zone.
Meanwhile Inter Turku have made an inconsistent campaign in the Veikkausliiga, with the side recording four victories, two draws and four defeats from their 10 league games. They now sit in the middle of the table in the top-half, in fifth, on 14 points, two places and three points above the bottom half.
They head into the Saturday’s clash in a good form having now gone unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, claiming three victories including the shoot-out last Monday against their weekend’s hosts.
Miguel Grau’s side will now be looking to extend the run as they seek to keep their top-half spot in the league standings.
