SJK are on the march and they know a victory can see them climb to a lofty second spot should other results go their way. IFK Mariehamn seem to be heading in the opposite direction and they could end up in the bottom two if things don’t go their way on Saturday.

Ahead of our SJK vs IFK Mariehamn preview, the home side have suffered defeat just once in their last five Veikkausliiga games. The sequence of good results has seem them climb the rankings, giving them an opportunity to leap to second spot from fifth should they beat IFK on Saturday.

IFK Mariehamn have won just two of their eight league fixtures so far in 2017, leaving them perilously close to the relegation zone at this early stage. But while results have been poor coming into our SJK vs IFK Mariehamn predictions, joint coaches Kari Virtanen, Peter Lundberg will be comforted by the fact that they have only conceded eleven times in their eight games.
IFK Mariehamn won the Veikkausliiga title last season in a miraculous Leicester City-esque charge to the championship, but their start to the new campaign has brought them back down to earth with a bang.

- IFK Mariehamn 3-0 PS Kemi

SJK vs IFK Mariehamn Prediction and Betting Advice
IFK Mariehamn have turned from champions to chumps this season and the hangover from last season’s success is proving difficult to shake ahead of our SJK vs IFK Mariehamn picks. SJK have built some momentum in recent weeks and Saturday’s tie sees the current champions visit the winners of the Veikkausliiga the season before.
SJK will see this as a real chance to put a marker down and announce themselves as one of the favourites for the title this season. I’m going for a home win.
