The seasons are about to end soon which means there a lot of matches available with a lot at stake.
Åbo IFK meet SalPa, the hosts need a few points,
Ilves host FC Espoo who are 4 points ahead of the second best in the group with 2 matches remaining and only the winner getting promoted, and
Pallo-Iirot host KaaPo who early on, as usual, gave up fighting for promotion as they really do not want that. The hosts would not mind getting a point here, which would also probably satisfy KaaPo.
Åbo have been in form, but the odds have dropped to an unacceptable level, Ilves might snatch a point which is no good for the picking the better team as the hc for them is -0,25, and Pallo-Iirot are safe enough to be happy with a amicable draw.

If you wonder what happened at Åbo IFK - Salpa, at 21 min a red card for home and penalty away, 1-1 and the odds turned upside down.
VastaaPoistaAnd at the moment - 27 min - it looks like that after giving a lot of thought and analysis what to take if anything my option to pick KaaPo of the away teams to get a x2 is the the only wrong option, and Salpa especially would feel very tasty.
VastaaPoistaBut the games are still on, lets see what happens next.
33 min played, red card for KaaPo.
VastaaPoista4o min,
VastaaPoistaanother red card for KaaPo, penalty and goal for Pallo-Iirot. 2-0. Game is over, the pick was a disaster.
41 min Ilves equalizer 1-1
VastaaPoistaAbo - SalPa 1-1
Iirot - KaaPo 2-0
54 minutes played and 10 men Åbo IFK take the lead again. 2-1.
VastaaPoista60 minutes and 3-1 for Åbo IFK. They needed only 10 players to secure their place in the division. Congratulations!
VastaaPoista62 minutes and third goal for Pallo-Iirot. Thank you, that was enough already with the 3rd minute first goal and those two red cards for KaaPo.
VastaaPoistaI stand humiliated.
Ilves scored at 69 minutes and take 2-1 lead. If this stands Espoo perhaps have only 1 point lead at the last round when they will host Åbo IFK at home.
VastaaPoistaOf course LoPa would have to win tomorrow against Pallohonka, an interesting match ahead which I might go and watch at 14.00 CET.
Come on iirot, 5 minutes to go, score a couple more!
VastaaPoistaA lesson is not a lesson if it is not a thorough one.
Well, a third red card for KaaPo is not a bad choice either.
