Jaro and Mariehamn meet in Veikkausliiga in very similar circumstances. Both are near the bottom of the table, separated by just a point, and both come into this one off a win in their last outing. Jaro won 1-0, while Mariehamn drew 1-1 after having picked up a win before that. Jaro are unbeaten in three, but two of those were games where they managed only a single goal and ended up sharing the points. Their attack still isn't sharp enough to put games away. Mariehamn, meanwhile, have lost two of their last five, yet they have scored in every match they've played. The difference is that Jaro can win with one goal and shut it down, while Mariehamn have to trade goals to get the result they want. If Mariehamn defend solidly and wait for the counter, this one should finish without much between the sides, because Jaro don't have an attack that can pressure opponents for the full 90 minutes either. The first half may open up with chances at both ends, but in the second half both teams tend to let the game slow down and become more cautious, especially late on, when both concede more often than at other times.
