Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Lahti & Atlantis face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Finland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Kakkonen game only three days ago.
Lahti form and stats
Lahti participated in Finland Cup the last season, where they reached the group stage.Lahti have played 5 Veikkausliiga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-4 (wins-draws-losses).
Lahti drew their last game, 1-1 away at Haka.
There will be little rest for Lahti after this match as they are travelling to Ilves for a Veikkausliiga game in only four days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Lahti means that they have only scored 1 goal in 5 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Lahti are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (11 from 5 played).
Atlantis form and stats
This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Kiffen with 0-3 on the scoreboard.
It was a Kakkonen defeat before that one as the away game against LaPa wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played 28 away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with 15 wins, 4 draws and 9 defeats. 4 games were lost by at least two goals margin.
Atlantis have another fixture that requires travelling in just four nights, a Kakkonen match vs Reipas. A difficult programme for them!
