Jazz Pori host KPV Kokkola in the Finnish Ykkönen relegation group. Jazz sit comfortably mid-table in the lower section after a strong run of form, while KPV are near the bottom and fighting to avoid further decline.

Form & Context

• Jazz Pori: Unbeaten in their last 8 matches (recent 2-0 win over Inter Turku II). Solid home form and better overall record (around 9 wins, 6 draws, 7 losses from 22 games, +3 goal difference).
• KPV: Struggling with a poor defensive record (conceded heavily this season). Recent losses include defeats to JJK and KuPS Akatemia. Bottom of the relegation group with only 15 points and a significant negative goal difference.

Head-to-head is competitive. KPV won the most recent meeting 1-0 in July 2026, but Jazz have the edge in current form and home advantage.

Team News

Limited detailed injury reports available. Both sides are expected to field competitive lineups in this lower-table clash. Jazz’s recent defensive solidity gives them an edge.

Key Battles & Outlook

Jazz’s home momentum and more balanced attack should control the game. KPV will look to stay compact and hit on the counter, but their leaky defence makes an away point difficult. Expect goals, as Ykkönen games often feature over 2.5.

Prediction

Jazz Pori 2-1 KPV

Jazz are clear favourites to take the three points and continue their solid run. KPV’s struggles suggest they will find it hard to contain the home side for the full 90 minutes.
