KTP or IFK Mariehamn out of Veikkausliiga? After that, HJK and KuPS in the championship match – EPN follows the exciting final round of the season

KTP or IFK Mariehamn out of Veikkausliiga After that HJK
Here is the schedule, starting points and stakes for the final round

The final round of the Veikkausliiga challenger series starts at 3 p.m.

The biggest stakes are in the match between KTP and IFK Mariehamn, which will decide which team will be relegated directly from the series.

KTP is one point ahead of Åland, so a draw at home would be enough for them to avoid last place.

Seriejajumbo will be relegated directly, the second last will qualify for the league place against either Gnistan or SJK Akatemia.

AC Oulu, who will face FC Haka, has already secured a victory in the challenger series, which guarantees a European place for next season.

In the third match of the challenger series, Ilves and Lahti are fighting for ninth place in the Veikkausliiga.

The Veikkausliiga season culminates in the championship round starting at 5 p.m., when the Finnish championship is decided in Helsinki at the Töölö football stadium between HJK and Kuopio Palloseura.

Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi is very close to the fourth consecutive championship: it would secure first place in the series even with a 0–2 loss. KuPS is three points away from the Helsinki team and its goal difference is five goals worse than HJK, so the Kuopio team would need at least a three-goal win to win the championship.

In the other games of the championship series, VPS, which has already secured third place, will meet SJK, and Honka and Inter will compete for fifth place in the series.
