SJK vs Rovaniemi is one of the matches on Monday, which takes place in the first Finnish football league, Veikkausliiga. It is a match with a special charge for the home team, who wants to take a play-off position. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 19, 2019, at OmaSp Stadium in Seinajoen, Finland.

SJK wants a play-off qualification

SJK hopes to retain its sixth position, the one it is in, until the end and obtain the qualification in the play-off. Due to the weaker results of the last stages, it was decided to relinquish the coaches of Eresa Eremenko and Umar Marhiev. In their place he was named Brian Page. Page is at the club’s disposal, as he prepares for the SJK Academy, the one that leads Group C from Kakkonen, the third league in Finland. Page is characterized by the team captain, Hetemaj, as a professional coach, very good and energetic. “His energy is taking over everyone,” Hetemaj said. SJK has also had a lot of problems lately. Strikers Billy Icons and Dion Acoff and defenders Boris Kadio and Jose Nadson are injured. Jude Arthur returns after the suspension, and Zakaria Beglarishvili begins to approach what is expected of him. The last one was injured for a long time and he has only just returned to the band. Denys Oliynyk, with 7 goals scored, is the main producer of the team.

Rovaniemi is preparing to avoid relegation

Rovaniemi started this championship edition very well and in May he ranked second in the standings. The coach of the team was Toni Koskela, the one who managed to form a pretty good team here. Only with his departure to HJK Helsinki has everything broken down, despite the agreements between the two teams, ROPS is going to use more young players from HJK. Now Rovaniemi is 10th, 8 points behind the last play-off spot. Mathematicians would still have the chance to take this position, but it is practically impossible, because the teams that fight for the entry in the first six will have to play matches between them. In the prospect of the play-out, the club’s management signed with four Ghanaian players, plus Nigerian Gbolohan Salamin, who scored many goals for KUPS, but none has yet made his debut in the team. There are different bureaucratic problems, registering the moves. Youness Rahimi scored 3 times, most of all the guests.

SJK vs Rovaniemi Picks

At SJK there was the necessary shock that can remove the team from the last period of numbness. He has the chance to meet a band, Rovaniemi, who is out of the fight for the play-off and no longer has a special motivation, at the end of the regular season. It is a great chance for the hosts to come back with victory.
