- Competition: Ykkosliiga

- Kick-off: 16:30 UK / 17:30 CEST
- Venue: Tammisaari Centralfield
Ekenäs IF will be looking to keep their hopes of a top-two finish alive on Tuesday afternoon when they play host to SalPa.
The hosts enter Tuesday's match brimming with confidence after ending a two-match winless streak with a 2:0 victory over PK-35 last weekend. Christian Sund’s side remain in third place, but could close the gap on second-placed TPS to just four points if they win their game in hand.
SalPa have been the worst side in the Finnish second division this season. The visitors still have no wins from their 12 league games so far this season and have the joint-most defeats (9). The Swans travel to Raseborg on the back of a three-match losing streak and are likely to extend that run, given that they have lost each of their last two visits to Tammisaari Centralfield.
EIF vs SalPa Betting Tips: Ekenas IF to win
The hosts have an excellent record against SalPa at the Tammisaari Centralfield Stadium. Not only did EIF win their last two meetings betweent the two sides at this ground, they also kept a clean sheet on both occasions.
SalPa showed significant improvement against JaePS last time, even taking a 2-1 lead at one point but they have the worst away record in the division this season. The visitors have lost all five of their away games so far and I expect that run to continue on Tuesday.
