- Competition: Ykkosliiga
- Date: Monday, 2nd June 2025
- Kickoff: 16:30 UK / 17:30 CEST
- Venue: Lahden Stadion (Lahti)
Since Lahti was founded in 1996, the team from Lahden Stadion has spent most of the season in Veikkausliiga. The current season is their fourth outside of the Finnish competition. The expectations are that Lahti should fight this year for their return to Veikkausliiga. After the first seven league rounds, Lahti are third on the table with two points behind TPS and Ekenas. Gonçalo Pereira's team is in solid form, having remained undefeated in their last three matches. Last weekend, Lahti won 5-3 at home against KaPa. Lahti needed two goals late in the second half to secure all three points.
JaPS didn't have too many successes throughout their history, as the 2025 season was their fourth in the second level of Finnish football, while JaPS never played in the Veikkausliiga. They could be one of the players with problems with relegation this year, as they collected only six points in the first seven league rounds and are two points above the relegation playoff zone. JaPS have not won a match in their previous five games. In the last game, they lost 2-1 on the road in the cup against HJK.
Lahti vs JaPS pick: Over 3.5 goals
Lahti are playing high-scoring games lately. They have a 9:8 goal difference in the last four matches. We should expect another high-scoring game on Monday afternoon when they meet with JaPS, too.

Lahti team news
After a 5-3 win against KaPa, Lahti's head coach Goncalo Pereira was delighted. He said, "Important three points. The match was not easy; we know that KaPa plays well with the ball. However, the boys did a great job; it is not easy to go from a 2–3 chasing position to a 5–3 victory in such a short time. I am very happy that we got three points and were able to achieve success in attack and, at the same time, increase our goal count."

JaPS team news
JaPS are one of the teams with the lowest budget in Ykkosliiga, and it is hard to imagine they invest too much during summer. However, JaPS are the second-worst defensive team in the competition, having allowed 19 goals in seven matches. If they look to improve in the coming weeks, that is the area the team from Järvenpää should focus on.
