- Competition: Ykkosliiga
- Date: 8th July 2025
- Kick-off: 16:30 UK / 17:30 CEST
- Venue: Mehtimäki tekonurmi
Two sides level on 14 points after 13 games in the 2025 Finnish second division campaign meet on Tuesday afternoon, when JIPPO play host to JaPS.
The hosts enjoyed a successful season upon their return to Ykkonen last year, finishing third in the 2024 standings and boasting the division's best defence. Mikko Hallikainen will have hoped to build on that this season, but things have not gone well so far for his side. The Zebras go into Tuesday's game having won only one of their last nine matches, suffering four defeats and drawing four.
JaPS, meanwhile, have been in the Finnish second division since 2022. Their best campaign during this period was in 2023, when they finished third behind SalPa and FF Jaro. As things stand, the visitors are without a win in three games. Having lost the last two games and conceded four goals in each, they will need a miracle to win at the Mehtimäki Tekonurmi Stadium on Tuesday.

JIPPO team news
Following his team's squandering of a two-goal lead against FC Lahti, head coach Mikko Hallikainen is expected to make at least one defensive change to his XI.
Roope Huhtala – who came on as a substitute at the start of the second half in that match – could benefit from this reshuffle in the back line, while Miro Turunen will be hoping for a place up front.
