Team Analysis
- Inter Turku: Known as the "Black and Blues," they are not known for their consistency but are solid mid-table performers in Finnish football. They finished sixth in 2023 and fifth a bit earlier. This season, after experiencing several losses, including five consecutive defeats, they've improved since late May, losing only to Ilves at home, drawing with Haka, and securing three wins.
- Lahti: The "Black Hornets" have been content with earning just enough points to avoid relegation. However, this is now a dubious prospect as their current statistics are disheartening. A 3-0 home win against Mariehamn remains their sole victory. They managed draws against recent opponents Oulu, Ilves, and Gnistan, each earning a point, which could be crucial.
Team News
- Inter Turku: Osere is far from peak condition.
- Lahti: Duarte can experiment, having a full squad ready to play.
