Two sides separated by only three places and four points in the Finnish third tier meet on Tuesday afternoon as Jazz Pori play host to EPS.
Jazz Pori have picked up 16 points from their 11 games so far, but this doesn’t seem to get much attention. This is because five teams are above them, including the top three, all with 17 points. However, the hosts suffered a huge setback in their campaign two weeks ago when they conceded nine goals across two games against KuPS in the Suomen Cup and KPV Kokkola. Ville Ulanen’s side responded with a 4-2 win over Keski-Uusimaa last Thursday and will be hoping for a similar performance on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Espoon Palloseura were last in action on Friday, when they welcomed KuPS Akatemia to the Espoonlahden urheilupuisto. EPS conceded three goals without responding and extended their losing streak to two matches. Having conceded seven goals and scored only once over the two games, Tuomas Silvennoinen’s team will need a miracle to win Tuesday's game against Jazz.
FC Jazz vs EPS Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
The last time Jazz failed to score was on 3 May. Ulanen’s men boast at least two goals in all but one of their last eight games across all competitions, with each of the last six ending with at least three goals.
Games between Jazz and EPS are also known for being entertaining. The last three have all ended with at least four goals, and I expect Tuesday’s game to be no different.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- FC Jazz vs EPS prediction: 3-1

FC Jazz team news
Jazz head coach Ville Ulanen is expected to resist the temptation to make alterations to the side that was on the pitch from kickoff in the 4:2 win over Keski Uusimaa last time out.
Justus Lehto’s brace in that game took his tally for the season to four goals, while Baba Haruna scored in back to back games for the first time since May.

EPS team news
EPS head coach Tuomas Silvennoinen is expected to make wholesale changes to the side that was on the pitch from kickoff in the humiliating defeat to KuPS Akatemia last time out.
Having featured as substitutes in that game, defender Muad Ahmed, forward Mohamed Lassoued and midfielder Vertti Kuittinen are among those likely to benefit from this reshuffle.
