A tale of two coaches
This Saturday’s matchup of Finland’s current top-scorer, Kerfala Cissoko, against the Veikkausliiga’s tightest home defence, looks likely to be a thriller.
FC Inter Turku are top of the division, boasting a record of 30 points from 14 matches and an impressive record of no home defeats this term.
FF Jaro have had a frustrating season so far, sitting 9th in the standings with just 15 points from 14 fixtures.
The contrast in these teams is best highlighted by the differing styles of their respective coaches, both appointed on the 1st of January 2024.
Vesa Vasara has moulded a modern, possession-based football team which dominates most matches at home.
Inter Turku are the most prolific side in the division, scoring an average of 2.00 goals per game in Veikkausliiga 2025 and their 0.57 goals conceded per home game average in the league reflects the defensive steel that runs through the side.
Niklas Vidjeskog has done a fantastic job at Jaro, setting up a more defensive side, with players instructed to soak up pressure and hit on the counterattack.
This has worked well for Jaro, especially in away fixtures where they have struggled for consistency, winning 3, drawing 1 and losing 4 of 8 Veikkausliiga 2025 fixtures.
The FC Inter Turku vs FF Jaro prediction also takes into account Vidjeskog’s influence, which was no more evident than in Jaro’s 3-2 away win at HJK, where Jaro demonstrated their capability to beat sides above them in the division.
Jaro’s talisman
Kerfala Cissoko is FF Jaro’s danger man. The Guinea international has 9 league goals in 14 appearances, 5 of which have come in Jaro’s last 5 Veikkausliiga 2025 games. He is responsible for over half of Jaro’s output in this period, making him the main threat on the pitch on Saturday. This FC Inter Turku vs FF Jaro prediction highlights the attacking threat from both teams, as Inter Turku’s frontline has been impressive all season, but Dimitri Legbo tops the team’s scoring charts with 4 goals in 11 Veikkausliiga 2025 appearances.
The verdict
Inter Turku have been in fantastic form in recent weeks, winning 2 and drawing 3 of their last 5 games. This includes a tough home draw with IFK Mariehamn (0-0) and a hard-fought win at Haka (1-0). At home, Inter’s form is 1 win, 2 draws and no defeats in their last 3 outings. Jaro’s recent form reads 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in their last 5, but away from home, they have won 1 and lost 2 of their last 3, so consistency has been an issue on the road.
Our FC Inter Turku vs FF Jaro preview shows this game will be exciting. The Over 2.5 Goals market is coming in at -188, a price which seems very low given these sides are both playing more attack-minded football. The contrasting styles of possession football and pragmatic counter play should see chances at both ends.
