Rovaniemi vs JJK Jyvaskyla tips and predictions

Eye-catching clash in Ykkonen

The home side's front three have looked good. They look poised to continue in their rich vein of form. This is a match destined for at least a few goals. This should be entertaining. But that doesn't mean there's anything exciting about the prices.

In this fixture Rovaniemi are picked to take home the bacon but if JJK Jyvaskyla are hungry then the hosts could get their fingers burned.

It looks like there is a pattern emerging in their recent results. The hosts have secured 11 wins in 20 matches while the visitors have been defeated in 13 of their last 17 matches, home or away. Obviously they've had different opposition but that doesn't sound like the record of a team that has had the right preparation for this.

This home team is making the most of a recent purple patch and they've been solving a lot of problems. Rovaniemi scored three or more goals in 5 of their recent 12 matches.

Occasionally JJK Jyvaskyla have lacked foundations near the 18-yard line. They have conceded two or more goals in 11 of their last 17 matches. And their problems aren't just in the first-third of the field. Averaging just 0.8 goals in their last 13 matches, JJK Jyvaskyla have will have expected better returns.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the fastest out of the blocks. The sportsbooks have forecasted goals at both ends of the park as they could be well matched. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option for this particular encounter.
