- Kick-off: 16:30 UK / 17:30 CEST
- Venue: Järvenpää TN
Two of the bottom three sides in the first third division meet this week in Järvenpää as JäPS play host to SalPa.
JaPS put a smile on their fans' faces with their 6-0 win over Kiffen in the fourth round of the Suomen Cup at the beginning of May, but they were unable to build on that success. Teemu Kankkunen’s side have won only one of their last ten games across all competitions, suffering four defeats and drawing five. Their last outing saw them lose 4:2 to TPS Turku last Friday. However, the Yellow and Blacks will take heart from the fact that their last victory was on this ground.
Meanwhile, SalPa were last in action last Friday against FC Lahti at the Salon Urheilupuisto Stadium, where they extended their winless run across all competitions to 12 matches. Ilkka Virtanen’s side have now lost back to back games for the second time in just over two weeks.
JäPS vs SalPa Betting Tips: Draw & Under 2.5 goals
The bookies see JaPS as the favourites to win, but the Yelllow and Blacks don’t have one of the best home records against SalPa at this ground. In fact, the hosts have lost each of their last two home games against SalPa and failed to win any of the last three. Two of those games ended with fewer than 2.5 goals, and I expect a similar outcome on Friday.
Another reason to expect a close game is that the visitors kept a clean sheet in two of their last four league matches. Two of those fixtures ended in a draw, and given that the last meeting between the two teams in May also finished 1:1, there is a high chance that Friday’s game will also end with few goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- JäPS vs SalPa prediction: 1-1

JäPS team news
JaPS head coach Teemu Kankkunen will be without the services of Joona Tapani on Friday against SalPa due to a suspension.
Tapani is suspended for one match after picking up his fifth yellow card of the campaign in the 4-2 defeat to TPS Turku last week.
The absence of the midfielder is likely to see Keaton Isaksson – who has three goals in seven league appearances this season – get a place in the XI, although Justus Holopainen is an option.

SalPa team news
SalPa head coach Ilkka Virtanen is expected to make alterations to the side that was on the pitch from kick-off in the 2-1 defeat to SalPa last weekend.
Otto Lehtisalo is expected to keep his place in the XI after scoring his second goal of the Ykkonen campaign in that encounter, but the likes of Joshua Salonen and Ermal Rrustemi could benefit from a possible reshuffle.
