However, their form has significantly improved since the end of spring. They are currently on a 3-match winning streak, scoring a total of 13 goals in these games.
Gnistan "The Kipinä" is debuting in the Veikkausliiga, although they had to qualify through play-offs and due to Haka’s bankruptcy. They started the season with courage, winning twice in a row, including against Inter Turku. However, their form has declined, and they have only managed to secure 7 points in subsequent matches, most of which came from games against Lahti. They have lost 4 out of their last 5 matches.
