Inter Turku’s fitness is questionable after an exhausting Conference League clash against Sarajevo on Thursday. Jaro rarely lose at home in the last two months, so I am predicting a draw here.
Key Stats
- Jaro have drawn 3 of their last 6 home matches.
- Jaro have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 matches.
- Inter Turku have drawn 5 of their last 9 matches.
- Inter Turku have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Visitors Dominate H2H
Inter Turku have a 28-5 advantage against Jaro when it comes to h2h victories, 11 matches ending without a winner.
Jaro Solid at Home
Judging by the early days, Jaro will most likely be battling against relegation this season in Veikkausliiga, collecting just 11 points in 15 matches and currently sit in 11th place.
Their recent results have been mixed, wrapping up June with a 1-1 home draw against 6th placed Gnistan, then suffered a 3-2 loss against TPS Turku where they had a 2-1 lead at half-time.
Earlier this month, Jaro hosted favored Ilves and claimed a 2-1 victory, netting both goals in the first half through Herman Sjogrell and Rudi Vikstrom. Goalkeeper Senne Vits was the hero here with 10 saves.
Inter Turku Coming off European Success
Inter Turku’s most recent appearances were on the European scenes, facing Sarajevo two times in the Conference League qualifiers.
After a 1-1 draw in Bosnia & Herzegovina, they earned a 2-1 victory at home on Thursday to advance. It was a dramatic encounter, Clinton Jephta scoring the winner just before stoppage time.
Speaking of their Veikkausliiga campaign, Inter Turku are sharing 1st placed with KuPS, both teams collecting 30 points in 15 matches. In their most recent league outing, they defeated Mariehamn 2-0 as visitors.

Mats Pedersen, Luca Weckstrom and Linus Zetterstrom are injured for the home side, while Adam Vidjeskog is serving a one-game suspension.
