As a rare commodity in Mariehamn, goals are celebrated wildly

"Safely in mid-table, Mariehamn have recently seen 7/8 games at the Wiklof Holding Arena stay Under 2.5 Goals"

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.9520/21 in IFK Mariehamn v RoPS

Tobias Gourlay expects title-chasing RoPS to win ugly in Finland this afternoon

IFK Mariehamn v RoPS
Monday 16:30

The news from Austria is good: Rapid Vienna 1 Red Bull Salzburg 2.

Now we're hoping for a quieter Monday. RoPS travel to IFK Mariehamn knowing that a win will put them two points clear at the top of Finland's Veikkausliiga with just two rounds of the season to go.

Two previous meetings this season have brought just three goals in total. Five of their last seven head-to-heads have finished with Under 2.5 Goals.

Safely in mid-table, Mariehamn have recently seen 7/8 games at the Wiklof Holding Arena stay Under 2.5 Goals.

RoPS have kept 9/11 away matches below the goals line. Despite their lofty league position they've scored more than once in just one of those 11 outings.

With Mariehamn unlikely to stretch themselves at the other end of the pitch, the price on another low scorer today is good.
