Veikkausliiga table 2026 season: Finland, points and home and away records

Veikkausliiga table: how to read points and goal difference

The gap from top to bottom is 29 points. KuPS lead on 43 with a difference of +15; IFK Mariehamn sit last on 14. Inter Turku are second, 1 points behind.

KuPS score most with 38 goals. Inter Turku defend best, conceding 16, while FF Jaro have shipped 44 — the spread between those two says how uneven the league is at the back.

A club takes 1.37 points per match on average and scores 28.4 goals across the season. The median is 33 points (VPS), with 5 clubs above it. The median describes a league better than the mean does: one runaway side pulls the mean up and barely moves the median.

The drop zone is 11 points from safety: Ilves sit 9th on 25, against IFK Mariehamn on 14. Those are the numbers that decide the closing weeks.

Veikkausliiga home and away: split points

The Veikkausliiga table recomputes separately for home fixtures and for away ones. They are the same matches split by venue, so points in the two tables always sum back to the overall one.

TPS take the most at home, 23 points from 11 matches, while Inter Turku lead away on 22 — more often different clubs than you would expect.

TPS depend on their ground most: 23 points at home against 8 away, a gap of 15. Inter Turku show the smallest split at -2. Across the league a club takes 5.8 more points at home than away.

Veikkausliiga: goals, averages and difference

Across 132 matches the league has produced 341 goals, 2.58 per game. Home sides win 45% of the time, both teams score in 49%, and 46% finish over 2.5.

AC Oulu carry the flattest goal difference at 0 — clubs on those numbers usually sit mid-table, equally far from the title and the drop.

Veikkausliiga: division size and what it changes

The size of a division changes how its figures read. With 12 clubs each plays 22 matches, and a run of three or four results moves a position further than it would in a league twice the size: the sample is smaller, so chance weighs more.

For the same reason the points gap between neighbouring places tends to be narrower here and the middle of the table reorders more often. Goal difference is especially useful in a division this size, because it accumulates across every match and depends less on who a club happened to face recently.

Comparing this division with others on absolute numbers — goals scored, points taken — means little where the number of rounds differs. What compares is the relative measures: points per match, scoring rate, the share of draws.

35 of 132 matches ended level, 27%. The draw rate is among the steadiest numbers a league produces: it moves less from season to season than goals scored or final positions do.

Any two clubs can be compared in the panel alongside, which reads the same results grid the home and away tables are computed from.
