Inter Turku will visit Jaro in the Veikkausliiga on Sunday night. With Inter Turku unbeaten for multiple league rounds and also on a winning run in this matchup, they look well placed to take all three points away from home.
Jaro have lost 8 of their 15 league matches, a defeat rate above 50 percent, which leaves them near the foot of the table. Their poor defensive record has been the main reason for their struggles this season. Before this round, they had conceded a league-worst 2.13 goals per game and were the only team in the division allowing more than two goals on average per match.
Jaro's home form has also been unconvincing, with just 2 wins from their first 7 home league games. Their ability to pick up points at home ranks among the weakest in the Veikkausliiga, so their best hope in this match may simply be to keep the margin of defeat down.
After 15 rounds, Inter Turku are level on 30 points with KuPS and sat second before this round only on a narrow deficit, underlining the gap in overall performance between the two sides. Since May 9, Inter Turku have gone 9 straight league matches unbeaten, and in 6 of those games they scored at least twice, showing reliable attacking strength.
It is also worth noting that Alikootee has scored in four consecutive matches in all competitions, helping the team post an unbeaten run of 3 wins and 1 draw. On current form, Inter Turku should have little trouble returning with a victory from this trip to Jaro.
