Ekenäs started their journey in the relegation group with a 1-1 draw against Inter Turku. Jean Botue put Inter Turku ahead in the game before Salomo Ojala rescued a point for Ekenäs in the 90+3rd minute after spending just 6 minutes on the pitch. They remain winless in their last nine games and sit bottom of the league with 14 points in 23 games, scoring 20 goals and conceding 52. Relegation already looks certain, as they are 8 points behind in the survival race. Moreover, Lucas Kaufmann (knee injury) is sidelined for this clash.

Kipinä remain unbeaten in their last eight games, winning six and drawing 2. They sit 7th on the table with 33 points in 23 games, scoring 34 goals and conceding 35.

Expert Betting Tips
Gnistan missed a chance to compete in the championship group by just two points. However, they have shown that they don’t belong here, and it won’t be surprising if they win all their games in this group. Meanwhile, Gnistan have struggled since the start of the season. While I dont expect them to get a point from this game, I see them getting a consolation goal.
