Jokerit — JYP: 2:4, Liiga

JYP beat Jokerit 4:2 on Wednesday in the Liiga, moving further clear at the top of the table. The visitors took control of the game early and never looked back. Jokerit remain winless after five matches.

Our prediction called for an away win with 88 per cent confidence. The result confirms that assessment, though the margin suggests JYP were already comfortable. The home side struggled to create anything meaningful.

Jokerit have now lost five straight. Their only victory this season came against Tappara in August, and since then they have been outscored 12:17. The goal difference tells the story of a side finding little to work with.

JYP arrive with five wins from five, including a 5:3 victory over Kuku on Saturday. They have kept two clean sheets and scored at least three goals in four of their last five matches. The momentum is with them.

The gap between the two sides is widening. JYP sit first on zero points with five wins, while Jokerit occupy 17th place with the same points tally but five defeats. The standings will shift once points are applied, but the form speaks for itself.
