TPS Turku vs IFK Mariehamn is one of the matches scheduled in Veikkausliiga on Monday, September 14, 2020. The match will be played at Veritas Stadion in Turku.
TPS Turku continues to be the only team in the league without equal
TPS Turku is penultimate in the ranking of the Finnish first league, with only nine points won. In the thirteen games played, he obtained three victories. It is interesting that two of them came against two teams from the upper half, HIFK Helsinki (1-0) and Inter Turku (1-0). It is clear that there are possibilities for better and there are hopes that he will not return to the second league, from where he promoted at the end of 2019. There are still construction problems and that is why the number of goals scored is quite small, only ten. Coach Jonatan Johansson is looking for the best solutions so that everything goes as he wants. First of all, in the offensive, there is an improvement, with half of the goals scored in the last four stages. Aldayr Hernandez and Muhamed Olawale have two goals each.
- Probable team (4-4-2): Koponen – Rahmonen, Holma, Hernandez, Varmanen – Muzaci, Lahde, Moundi, Haarala – Aaritalo, Jakonen
- Coach: Jonathan Johansson
Mariehamn still has a chance to play in the playoffs
Mariehamn is in eighth place in the ranking, with eighteen points. He has only one less than the last position in the playoffs. There are still nine stages until the end of the regular season, and the chances of going there are intact. Away he has only two victories, in the six matches played. He won with the last ranked, Rovaniemi (3-2), and with SJK (2-1). When he met his opponent in the first half, he lost every time. The defense is the neuralgic compartment, with twenty-four goals conceded. Only Rovaniemi and HAKA Valkeakoski have more. He manages to balance through a good offensive, but especially through the successes of Albion Ademi, who scored twelve times.
- Probable team (5-2-3): Forsman – Jarvenpaa, Taimi, Backaliden, Sumusalo, Sjoroos – Makrillos, Karlstrom – Tolonen, Pelvas, Ademi
- Coach: Lukas Syberyjski
TPS Turku vs IFK Mariehamn Picks
In the two previous meetings, this year, we saw a balance between the two teams. In the cup, in February, the score was equal, 1-1, and in the championship, in August, Mariehamn won 1-0. I also expect a balanced match in Monday’s meeting, when both teams will try to win points. TPS Turku has reached thirteen matches without equal this season. I say it’s time for a draw, which I’ve been aiming for some time.
Our Prediction: Draw
Odds: 3.45
