They drew 1-1 at home to Jaro, lost 3-1 away at Ilves, beat Mariehamn 2-1 at home, won 1-0 away at VPS Vaasa, and secured a 2-1 away victory against Seinajoen JK.

Win Probability: Seinajoen JK or Lahti?

Seinajoen JK has a 28% chance of winning, the draw is at 34%, and Lahti has a 38% chance. Lahti is the more likely winner, but a draw remains a strong possibility given Seinajoen JK's recent string of stalemates.
