Jaro - PK-35 Vantaa prediction 25 October 2026

The PK-35 Vantaa vs Jaro prediction for the Veikkausliiga match on Oct 21, 2026, points toward an away win, with Jaro holding a 40% chance of victory. The match kicks off at 16:30 local time at Mustapekka Areena in Helsinki, a small venue with a capacity of just 2,500. Based on head-to-head dominance and current form, Jaro are slight favorites, but the draw also has strong support from the odds.

Team Form

PK-35 Vantaa’s last five matches show mixed results: two wins, two losses, and one draw (W‑L‑D‑L‑W). Their most recent outing was a narrow 3‑2 home win over SJK Akatemia in Ykkosliiga. However, they also suffered a heavy 3‑0 defeat at Haka and a 3‑0 home loss to KTP, revealing defensive fragility. On the road they have been inconsistent, including a 4‑1 win at KäPa but also that heavy loss. Overall, PK-35 Vantaa have won just two of their last five, hardly inspiring confidence at home.

Jaro’s recent form is steadier, if not spectacular: one win, three draws, and one loss in their last five (D‑W‑D‑D‑L). They held Mariehamn to a 1‑1 home draw, beat TPS Turku 1‑0 away, and drew 1‑1 at Lahti as well as 1‑1 at home against Seinajoen JK. A 2‑0 loss at Ilves is the only blemish. Jaro are hard to beat, drawing three of those five games, and have shown they can grind out results away from home.

Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head history strongly favors Jaro. In the last seven meetings across all competitions, Jaro have won four times, PK-35 Vantaa once, with two draws. The most recent clashes in 2022 both ended 4‑0 to whichever side was at home – but notably Jaro’s 4‑0 win was also as the away team in one of those matches, showing they can dominate on the road. The only head-to-head draw was a 0‑0 stalemate in a Kolmonen fixture, further underlining Jaro’s upper hand when the sides meet.

League Table Positions

The supplied standings are from Veikkausliiga, where Jaro sit 11th with 15 points from 22 matches (3 wins, 6 draws, 13 defeats). Their goal difference of −26 (18 scored, 44 conceded) reflects struggles, but they are competing at a higher level than PK-35 Vantaa, whose recent matches come from Ykkosliiga. Jaro’s away record shows only one win and five draws in 11 games, meaning they are often competitive even if not winning often. PK-35 Vantaa’s league position is not available in the data, but their presence in a lower division suggests a gap in quality that the head-to-head record reinforces.

Win Probability: PK-35 Vantaa or Jaro?

We have calculated outcome probabilities using bookmaker odds (first market: home 2.85, draw 1.98, away 2.92) and adjusting for form, H2H, and home advantage. After removing the margin and weighting external factors, the chances are:

• PK-35 Vantaa win – 25%
• Draw – 35%
• Jaro win – 40%

The raw odds implied a 42% draw probability, but Jaro’s superior head‑to‑head record (4 wins in 7) and the fact they play in a higher division shift the balance in their favor. PK-35 Vantaa’s home advantage at Mustapekka Areena is offset by a leaky defence and the quality gap. Therefore, Jaro are the more likely winner, but the draw remains a strong possibility.
