Another week about to start in Finland

International match-week and Veikkausliiga is resting before the decisive last round and a lot is still out in the open,

on the top we have still 3 candidates for the title,

HJK 25 14 9 2 44-20 51
Honka 25 13 9 3 65-29 48
TPS 25 13 9 3 46-20 48

HJK need a point from their home match against Jaro to secure the title, otherwise the champion is the winner of the match TPS-Honka.

In the bottom

JJK 25 3 6 16 23-50 15
RoPS 25 3 4 18 20-66 13

RoPS need to win KuPS at home not to get relegated, in the other hand JJK only need a draw from TamU to secure the place in the relegation play-off. Judging by the latest match Honka - RoPs 9-0 there is very little to expect from RoPS.

At Ykkönen there 2-3 matches to go, and

AC Oulu 24 15 4 5 52-23 49
Viikingit 23 14 5 4 46-17 47
KPV 24 13 6 5 27-22 45
FC PoPa 24 10 8 6 47-35 38
FC Hämeenlinna 24 10 8 6 35-27 37
KooTeePee 23 10 6 7 20-16 36
PS Kemi 24 11 2 11 34-43 35
PK-35 23 9 5 9 27-25 32
Klubi-04 23 8 7 8 40-41 31
JIPPO 24 8 5 11 27-34 29
TPV 24 6 6 12 25-36 24
TP-47 24 6 6 12 26-38 24
Kiisto 24 4 5 15 23-46 17
Atlantis 24 4 3 17 21-47 15

The only thing we know for sure is that Atlantis (Helsinki) and Kiisto (Vaasa) will be relegated. The third one going down is most likely TPV (Tampere) or TP-47 from Tornio. JIPPO is not 100 % out of trouble yet.

Viikingit and Ac Oulu have the promotion in their own hands, the winner is promoted and the runner-up goes to play-offs against the 13th in the League, and it looks like JJK.

From Kakkonen there will be 3 promoted teams, more about them later, but one of them is a traditional club from Mikkeli, another one is from Oulu and the third one is either FC Espoo or LoPa.
