The match schedule for the end of the Veikkausliiga season has been confirmed. Both the upper and lower end of the standings had lots of bets left for the fall.
HJK won the regular season with one point difference to KuPS. IFK Mariehamn took the last place. Five points above it are KTP and Ilves, so the relegator and qualifier are also still a mystery.
The Finnish champion will be determined after the final round on October 21 at the latest. The champion will also be able to participate in the Champions League qualifiers next season.
After the challenger series, the last team drops directly to the First. The 11th-placed team will qualify for the league place against the winner of the First promotion qualifier.
