SJK are determined to maintain their chances of winning the top league in Finnish football. They are set to play against KTP, a team facing relegation. In their most recent match, SJK suffered a defeat, and they aim to perform better in this upcoming game after their previous 3-2 loss to VPS Vaasa.

Although SJK had a solid start for the 2023 season, their performance has weakened in recent weeks. They come into this match with just one win in their last four games and have been defeated in their last two matches. However, their coach, Joaquín Gómez, can find some encouragement from the fact that his team has earned the second-highest number of points when playing at home in the league this season.

Currently, SJK hold the third position in the league standings. They have accumulated a total of 35 points from 18 games played. During these matches, they scored 24 goals but also conceded 15 in return.

In their most recent match, KTP faced a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Inter Turku, highlighting their current struggles. Their winless streak extends to six games, signifying a challenging period for the team.

Positioned third from the bottom of the league standings, KTP's hopes hinge on a potential turnaround in the relegation play-offs. Currently occupying the 10th position in the league table, they've accumulated 17 points from 18 games played. Over these matches, they managed to score 14 goals, but their defense conceded 25.

As they approach the next match, KTP arrives with a three-game losing streak. Throughout the season, they've secured victories in only four matches. Additionally, their away performance ranks among the weakest in the Veikkausliiga, indicating that defeating SJK on Tuesday would require a remarkable turn of events.

SJK - Krišjānis Zviedris, Terry Yegbe, Ville Tikkanen, Matej Hrádecký, Murilo, Diego Rojas, Nooa Laine, Jake Dunwoody, Kingsley Asante Ofori, Jeremiah Streng, Jaime Moreno.

KTP - Rasmus Leislahti, Michael Olusoji Ogungbaro, Daan Klinkenberg, Juho Lehtiranta, David Ramadingaye, Willis Furtado, Gabriel Sandberg, Valtteri Vesiaho, Joni Mäkelä, Willian Pozo-Venta, Mika.

When SJK faces off against KTP, it seems probable that SJK will be the ones finding the goals they need. On the other hand, KTP might face difficulties scoring a goal themselves.
