Season ticket holders at Tehtaan kenttä haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Haka languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Lahti will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Haka nor Lahti as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Haka form and stats
When playing at home in the Veikkausliiga, Haka, who have the most conceded goals (23) in Veikkausliiga, have managed 0 wins, 1 draw and suffered 4 defeats from 5 games. It's been an uphill battle for Haka in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Honka game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
It's back home for Haka, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating HIFK away with the result 1-0. T. Purme found the net in that victory. Before that game, the home loss against HJK with the scoreline 1-4.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of T. Tainio when T. Purme scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 27th minute.
This is expected to be a close game, with Haka perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Haka as a small favourite), we find three games. Haka has won one of these, drawn zero and lost two.
Haka have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Haka have allowed the opposition to score 13 goals here at Tehtaan kenttä.
Lahti form and stats
As the visiting team in Veikkausliiga matches, Lahti have produced an overall stat of 2-1-2 so far.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Lahti, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Ilves (placed 6th). A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs RoPS.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lahti playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Lahti wins, four draws and three defeats.
Lahti has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 8 goals from 5 games. Lahti struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 8 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Haka six wins, one draw and Lahti three victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
