Haka arrive at this upcoming fixture with an impressive unbeaten streak of five matches. In their most recent encounter, however, they squandered a two-goal lead and settled for a 2-2 draw against KuPS. Over their last five matches, they have accumulated 9 points through 2 wins and 3 draws, placing them among the top-performing teams in this period. Currently, they occupy the 8th position in the league table with 21 points from 22 matches, and these points position them within the relegation group as they approach the playoffs.

SJK's early-season form has experienced a downturn, and they are currently performing below expectations in their recent matches. Prior to their last game, they endured a four-game winless streak but managed to secure a 3-2 victory over Mariehamn. What made this victory particularly surprising was that they came from a two-goal deficit to secure the win, which should provide reassurance to their fans as they approach the playoffs.

As things stand, SJK occupy the 3rd position in the league table and has secured a place in the top 6. They have accumulated 38 points from 21 games, scoring 29 goals and conceding 23. Despite their recent struggles, they are still well-positioned in the league, and their comeback victory may boost their confidence heading into the playoffs.

Haka and SJK have faced each other a total of 10 times prior to this upcoming clash. Haka have secured victory in 4 of these encounters, while SJK have claimed victory in 3 matches. Additionally, there have been 3 draws in their previous meetings. In their most recent encounter back in April, SJK emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline. Notably, the last two matches between these teams have concluded with the same 2-1 scoreline.

Given the current form of both teams, it's likely to be a competitive match, with both sides finding the net. The recent performances of the home side and the visitors getting back on track suggest an evenly contested encounter where goals can be expected from both teams.
