The season is still fairly new and the Veikkausliiga table has to be read with caution. So far HIFK find themselves in 11th position and Honka are placed 2nd.
The visiting Honka played their last game only four days ago, a Veikkausliiga match.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Honka have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 7-3-5 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.
