The draw is absolutely the best option here, more below:
FC Inter heads into the final match in third place. The silver medals are in the team’s own hands, as a win against Ilves would lift the blue-and-yellows to second place. On the other hand, a loss could see the Turku team drop to fourth and out of next summer’s European competitions. Behind them, SJK is just two points behind, and the Seinäjoki team faces an upcoming match against bottom-placed Gnistan with no stakes.
Ilves has secured its spot in the top three. However, their championship hopes were dashed on Monday in their home game against SJK when a 3-2 lead turned into a 3-3 draw in injury time. The disappointment was certainly immense. However, there is plenty of time to get over it and recharge for this game, and it is expected that Joonas Rantanen's team will enter the match motivated.
The quality gap between the two teams is small, so home advantage makes Inter the narrow favorite. With two attack-oriented teams facing each other, the game is likely to be goal-heavy. However, for Inter, it's important to consider that if SJK is leading comfortably against Gnistan at the same time, and this match is tied, Inter’s willingness to take risks might decrease, shifting their focus from a win to securing a draw and confirming a spot in European competitions.
