The home side have recorded three straight victories (KuPS (H), Inter (H), VPS (A)) after the opening day defeat against TPS in Turku and sit second in the table, a point behind JJK. Jaro have also recovered from their dodgy start to the season, that saw them get beaten by biggest relegation favourites RoPS (A) and Haka (H), by taking all three points at TPS and drawing at home to KuPS.

The busy start to the Finnish season continued, with most Veikkausliiga teams having a pair of games over the weekend, including a pair of losses by Etchu Tabe and RoPS.
