Our Veikkausliiga tips for round 22 focus on two Monday fixtures with major implications at opposite ends of the table. Inter Turku host league leaders KuPS in a potentially decisive title-race meeting, while IFK Mariehamn face FF Jaro in an important battle near the bottom.
Both games offer interesting betting angles, from a tight contest between Finland’s top two teams to a Mariehamn side suddenly carrying momentum after back-to-back victories. Bettors can check the latest Veikkausliiga odds and available markets at ibet before kickoff.

Inter Turku vs KuPS
Monday, August 31, 2026, at 18:00 CEST – Veritas Stadion, Turku
- Inter Turku vs KuPS Tips: Draw & Under 2.5 Goals at 4.27 at ibet.
Just four points separate the top two teams in Finland ahead of Monday’s meeting at Veritas Stadion.
For most of the summer, KuPS looked comfortable at the top of the table. Then came last weekend’s surprise 4-2 defeat at home to IFK Mariehamn. Which makes things interesting again at the top of the table.
Inter Turku have the opportunity to cut the gap to a single point and turn the title race into something completely different heading into the final part of the season if they manage to get all three points from the meeting.
Recent Meetings/History
Inter had a bit of an uphill in this fixture recently.
KuPS have won three of the last five meetings in the league between the two teams, including a 3-0 victory in Turku last season.
When the teams met earlier this year, it ended in a 1-1 draw. That result continued a trend of close contests, with three of the previous six meetings ending level.
Inter’s last league victory over KuPS was in September 2024, which gives Monday’s match an extra incentive for the home side.
Recent Form
Inter Turku
Inter’s league record tells an interesting story.
They have lost only twice in 21 matches, fewer than every team in the division except KuPS. The problem is that nine of those games have ended in draws.
Two of their last five matches in the league have finished level, with goalless draws against FC Lahti and TPS.
Defensively they continue to be one of the strongest teams in Finland, conceding only 16 goals in 21 league games.
KuPS
KuPS remain top for a reason, but their grip on first place has loosened slightly during August.
The shock defeat against Mariehamn ended a chance to put more daylight between themselves and the chasing pack. Before that result they had also been held by TPS and dropped points in Europe.
Away from home, however, they continue to be one of the strongest teams in the league. KuPS have won six of their ten away league matches this season and arrive in Turku with only two league defeats from 21 matches overall.
Team News
No significant injury concerns have been reported ahead of the match.
With both clubs involved in the title race and approaching a crucial period of the season, expect the strongest available line-ups on Monday evening.
Betting Prediction Inter Turku vs KuPS
This feels like one of those matches where neither team will want to hand the other an advantage.
Inter have developed a habit of drawing games, while KuPS have seen several recent matches finish level as well. Recent meetings between the clubs point in the same direction.
There is plenty at stake, but not much separating the teams.
My prediction is a draw and under 2.5 goals.
IFK Mariehamn vs FF Jaro
Monday, August 31, 2026, at 18:00 CEST – Wiklöf Holding Arena, Mariehamn
- IFK Mariehamn vs FF Jaro Tips: IFK Mariehamn to Win at 2.25 at ibet.
A week can change the mood around a football club.
After spending most of the season rooted to the bottom of the Veikkausliiga table, IFK Mariehamn suddenly heads into Monday’s meeting with FF Jaro carrying a bit of momentum.
They shocked everyone by beating league leaders KuPS away 4-2 in the last round and the week before they won 2-0 over SJK and has given the club hope to stay up heading into the final weeks of the regular season.
The gap to Jaro is still four points, but a home win would make the battle to avoid last place a lot more interesting.
Recent Meetings/History
Jaro came out as winners when the two clubs met earlier this season.
Back in May, they won comfortable with 3-0 in Jakobstad when they scored twice before half-time.
Recent meetings have been difficult to predict. The last four league encounters have produced two wins for Jaro, one for Mariehamn and a draw.
That should give the visitors some confidence despite their recent struggles.
Recent Form
IFK Mariehamn
For the first time in a while, Mariehamn supporters have something positive to point towards.
The victories against SJK and KuPS account for two of their three league wins this season and have arrived at exactly the right time.
Scoring goals has been a problem throughout the campaign, but six goals across those two victories is already more than they managed in their previous seven league matches combined.
FF Jaro
Jaro is the team that at the moment has the worst form in the league.
They have lost four of their last five league matches and arrive on Åland after a 1-0 home defeat against AC Oulu.
Their away form is particularly concerning. They have lost each of their last six away league games and have conceded at least two goals in all of those matches.
Team News
Both teams are expected to have most of their regular starters available.
Betting Prediction IFK Mariehamn vs FF Jaro
This is probably the first time all season that Mariehamn enter a match with more momentum than their opponent.
Jaro won the reverse fixture, but their away form has been poor and Mariehamn will take confidence from their recent results.
It may not be pretty, but the hosts look capable of building on last week’s momentum.
My prediction is IFK Mariehamn to win 2-1.
