HIFK form and stats
2-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Veikkausliiga numbers at home for HIFK so far this season.
The spoils were shared in HIFK's previous game, also at home. Visiting KTP (placed 11th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. Tino Palmasto was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against KTP after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? A painful moment in the game against KTP was the missed penalty kick from Moshtagh Yaghoubi in the 71st minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Inter Turku and winning 1-0.The HIFK fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. HIFK's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
SJK form and stats
4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of SJK playing as the away team in the Veikkausliiga this season.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Oulu.Many goals are not expected from the visiting SJK as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. SJK are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 7 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
