In the Veikkausliiga's split format, FF Jaro and IFK Mariehamn sit at the foot of the relegation group with the worst records and goal differences after 24 matches, leaving them vulnerable to direct relegation or play-offs against Ykkösliiga sides. SJK trails the safer positions held by FC Lahti, TPS, and Ilves, where recent results and remaining fixtures will decide final standings before November resolution. Poor attacking output and defensive leaks have defined the bottom three's form, while schedule congestion and potential squad changes add uncertainty to survival chances for the promoted sides and mid-table strugglers alike.
