• Venue: Mikkelin Urheilupuisto (Mikkeli)

Mikkeli were close to reaching the Veikkausliiga in the 2022/23 season when they reached the playoffs in Ykkonen. Unfortunately, in the following season, they were relegated, and that bad season transferred to this one. However, after a terrible start where they looked like a relegation candidate, Mikkeli are doing a much better job now and are undefeated in the last six league games. Right now, they are in 8th place with 15 points from 11 games - two points away from reaching the Championship Group.

Inter Turku II, like their senior team, are having an excellent season. Inter Turku II secured promotion last year from Kakkonen Group B and are looking like they could secure their second promotion in a row. Right now, they are in the top spot with 19 points in 11 rounds. Still, five teams behind them are only two points away from them, and they have to continue winning points to keep themselves at the top.

Mikkeli vs Inter Turku II pick: Over 3.5 goals

If we exclude the expected HJK loss in the Cup, Mikkeli were pretty good. Their loss to HJK was the only one in the last eight games across the competition. During that stretch, they managed to score two or more goals on five occasions - 62.5%. So, we expect another good offensive performance at home.

Inter Turku II have been absolutely great for this type of bet. A team with by far the best offense in the league that scored 35 goals - eight more than the second-best offensive team(Keski-Uusimaa)! However, since they are not as dominant defensively, they are a perfect team for this bet. In 11 games this season, they only had one clean sheet! Because of it, they were over 3.5 goals in eight out of 11 games - almost 73%!

In the first h2h game this season, Inter Turku II won 4:0. Considering all the above, an over 3.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this Ykkonen tie.
