Power Rankings For The Veikkausliiga For Week 8

In Finnish Veikkausliiga on June 9, 2011 at 10:27 am

I’ve had to make various adjustments for Finland this season due to the various shennanigans that took place during the close season and the reorganisation of the Veikkausliiga that took place after them. But without further ado, here are the rankings going into today’s games.

1. JJK

Most improved club so far this season, although their five game winning streak was comprehensively snapped by HJK a couple of weeks ago. Almost a complete turnaround from last season.

2. Inter Turku

Current leaders on goal difference and defensive improvement has been a factor.

3. Mariehamn

Only won seven games in 2010; have already won three this season.

4. HJK

The bad news for everyone else is that the reigning champions seem to be better than they were last year. Haka were the last team to complete a hat trick of title wins, but HJK could repeat that this summer.

5. Honka

6. TPS

7. Haka

8. VPS

9. Jaro

10. KuPS

11. MyPa

Only one win so far this season – need to improve quickly or the 2005 Champions face a long season as only one club will be relegated this summer.

RoPS not ranked due to promotion.
