Team Form

Lahti comes into this match with strong recent results: three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five games. They beat VPS Vaasa 1-0 away and Seinajoen JK 2-1 away, lost 1-2 at home to KuPS, drew 0-0 at Inter Turku, and won 2-0 at home against Jaro.

In 32 previous meetings, Lahti has won 16 times, Mariehamn 9, and 7 ended in draws. The last five encounters show Lahti's edge: they won 2-0 away in July 2026, 1-0 away in the Cup in May 2026, drew 1-1 at home in May 2026, lost 0-4 away in the Ykkoscup in March 2026, and drew 1-1 in February 2024.
