**SJK are stuck in the doldrums — three straight draws — while IFK Mariehamn just rolled into Seinajoki hot.** 🔥 Form couldn't be more different heading into Friday's clash.

SJK have gone toothless lately, blanking in back-to-back road games and leaking goals. IFK Mariehamn, by contrast, are flying: four wins in five matches, most recently hammering FF Jaro 2-0 at home. The visitors smell blood.

Key storylines:

- **IFK Mariehamn's attack** has found its stride just when SJK's defence looks vulnerable
- **SJK's midfield** (C. Araújo, S. G. Yussif, E. Onuoha) needs to control tempo, not let the visitors dictate
- **Home ground edge** matters, but form says Mariehamn arrive as the real threat

Expected lineups:

- **SJK**: R. Paunio, E. Mömmö, O. Väistö, A. Boström, J. Moisio, C. Araújo, S. G. Yussif, E. Onuoha, E. Mastokangas, J. Streng, Kelwin
- **IFK Mariehamn**: K. Lund, A. Soiniemi, T. Koivisto, N. Nurmi, L. Richtner, J. v. d. Heyden, E. Patut, L. Andersson, A. Huttunen, T. K. Jakobsen, A. Larsson

Prediction:

**IFK Mariehamn 2–0 SJK**. Visitors have all the momentum and SJK look toothless; lean Mariehamn to extend their run.
