SJK host FC KTP at the OmaSP Stadion for a league match in the Finland Veikkausliiga on Tuesday evening. SJK will be looking to keep their hopes of winning the Finnish top flight alive when they play relegation candidates KTP this evening. SJK are currently placed on the third position on 35 points, three points away from the first placed team with a game in hand, after 18 games played. A win for them this evening will get them level on points with KuPS Kuopio who are occupying the first position. Their last outing was a disappointing affair as they lost out away from home 3-2 to VPS Vaasa. After having now lost their last two games, they will be hoping to bounce back as soon as possible. Meanwhile, KTP are one of the relegation candidates as they are third from the bottom with 17 points garnered so far from 18 games. Only two points separate them from the team occupying the foot of the table, and they are 18 points below their current opponents. They were beaten at home in their last outing by Inter Turku, losing out to them by 1-4 scoreline. For this encounter, I am expecting a resounding win for SJK for the following reasons:

Firstly. SJK got off to a flying start to the 2023 season, remaining unbeaten for their first 11 games of the season, while winning eight of them. But they have slackened a little in recent weeks. They enter this game with just two wins from their last five matches, and each of the last two ended in defeat. Boss Joaquín Gómez will however get encouragement ahead of Tuesday's game from the fact that his team has picked up the second most points at home in this division this season. They have won six of their nine home games played so far this season, and they also have the second joint best defensive record in the league.

Secondly. The away side, KTP, are second from the bottom and can only hope things turn out differently in the relegation 'play-offs' to survive the drop. The visitors enter this match on a run of three straight defeats and have now lost four and drawn two of their last six games. In total, they have won only four games this season. They also have the second-worst away record in the Veikkausliiga, losing six and winning just one of the nine away games they have played this season; which means they will need a miracle to beat SJK on Tuesday evening. They also have the worst attacking record having scored the least goal in the league with just 14 goals scored in 18 games.

With SJK eight places above KTP in the table, they are naturally favourites going into this match. They are in a better form and have the better quality in their team to get maximum points here. KTP are also very poor defensively. They conceded at least two goals in four of their last five matches. It is on these notes that I believe that SJK should be winning this encounter by at least a two-goals margin.

周二晚上，SJK主场迎战KTP FC，将在OmaSP球场进行一场芬兰联赛。SJK将在今晚与保级候选人KTP的比赛中保持他们赢得芬兰顶级联赛冠军的希望。在18场比赛后，SJK目前以35分排名第三，与第一名多赛一场的球队相差3分。今晚的胜利将使他们的积分追平目前排名第一的库奥皮奥。他们的最后一场比赛是令人失望的，他们在客场3-2输给了VPS瓦萨。在输掉了最近两场比赛之后，他们希望能尽快恢复。与此同时，KTP在18场比赛中积17分，排名倒数第三，成为了降级候选球队之一。他们与积分榜垫底的球队只有两分的差距，他们比目前的对手低18分。他们上一次在主场被国际图尔库击败，以1-4的比分输给了后者。在这场比赛中，我期待SJK大获全胜，原因如下:

首先。SJK在2023赛季开门红，在赛季前11场比赛中保持不败，其中8场获胜。但最近几周，他们的态度有所缓和。他们在过去的五场比赛中只赢了两场，而且最近两场比赛都以失败告终。主教练Joaquín Gómez将在周二的比赛前得到鼓舞，因为他的球队在本赛季的联赛中取得了第二多的主场积分。到目前为止，他们在本赛季的9场主场比赛中赢了6场，而且他们的防守记录在联盟中并列第二。

其次。客队KTP排名倒数第二，只能希望在降级附加赛中情况有所不同，才能从降级中幸存下来。客队在本场比赛中遭遇了三连败，最近6场比赛中4负2平。他们本赛季总共只赢了四场比赛。他们的客场战绩也是维考斯利亚联赛第二差的，本赛季的9场客场比赛中，他们输了6场，只赢了1场;这意味着他们需要一个奇迹才能在周二晚上击败SJK。他们的进攻记录也是最差的，18场比赛只进了14个球，是联赛中进球最少的。

由于SJK在积分榜上领先KTP 8名，他们自然是进入这场比赛的热门。他们的状态更好了，球队的实力也更好了，他们可以在这里拿到最多的积分。KTP的防守也很差。他们在最近的五场比赛中有四场至少丢了两个球。正是基于这些，我认为SJK应该以至少两球的优势赢得这场比赛。
