Last game in Veikkausliiga: 18.07.09 JJK – Inter 1-0

Inter has time for a revenge after a humiliating loss at JJK in July. The season for Inter has been far from expected, but last week against Honka they finally seemed to have gotten their act together and returned home to Turku with a 2-3 win in their bag. Inter coach Job Dragtsma has decided to give the player he hoped the most, the center-back Claudio Verino no more playing time as he failed big time, and slowly the performances have improved. Unfortunately for Inter they are too far behinf in the league and they can concentrate in making the life miserable for the other teams, not forgetting the Cup.

JJK have lost their self-confindence and without it the team is a sorry sight. The defence is shaky, midfield uncreative and strikers out-of-form. Even the manager seems to have lost the plot and has been making changes in the line-up that surely have surprised everyone but not produced any results. JJK lost at home to Jaro 0-2 and they look like they are doomed, but they are onlt 1 point behind the latest spot in the safety and anything can still happen.

Guillano Grot 15/3 is the only absentee for Inter, JJK lost important Tommi Kari 19/4 due suspension.

Out: 21 Toni Koskela 17/0 for the rest of the season, 10 Tommi Kari 19/4 suspended

Coach: Ville Priha

Betting: A home win. Actually I finally took inter -1.5 @ 2.16 as JJK has been really toothless lately, well throughout the season to be honest, and anyone should be able to score 3-4 goals against them. All of this of course leads to believe that this is overish.
