Mariehamn – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Islanders" were second-to-last last season. They defended their right to remain in the top division of the country through play-off matches – fortunately, they succeeded. Of course, they needed to improve, and it can already be said that they have managed to do so.
They are now averaging more than a point per match and are thus staying around the middle of the table. However, they have been knocked out of the Finnish Cup. In their last five rounds, they have had only one win and three losses, including defeats in their last two matches.
SJK – the shape of the team and its analysis:
"Kerho" finished in fourth place last season. Overall, it was a good result in recent years, where the team has been pushed to second places. But now there are real chances to compete for the trophy. And not just for the cup, although their campaign there is currently developing successfully.
There have been no slumps, except for two consecutive losses at the turn of spring and summer. But then they took ten points in the last four rounds. In their last matches, they achieved a 2-1 against Haka and Oulu, moving up among the leaders.
