FC Jazz team overview
FC Jazz come into Thursday’s Finnish league fixture after a 1:1 draw against Inter Turku II last time out. Joonas Lakkamäki’s late goal secured a share of the spoils for Tero Suonpera’s side.
The hosts have struggled for consistency this season, with defensive issues proving costly. Without a win in their last three matches, Jazz failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last eight games.
Jazz have conceded 18 goals in 11 league matches this season, and they will need to tighten up against an in-form opponent on Thursday.
After a bright start to the campaign, Suonpera’s side picked up just two points from their last three games, and now sit seventh in the division, 11 points behind Tampere.
Head coach Suonpera could look to make changes after Jazz’s draw against Inter Turku II. Arttu Furuholm is among those hoping to earn a first-team recall.
