After three games we know a little more about the qualities of HIFK and SJK in this fresh Veikkausliiga season. Read our match preview!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Veikkausliiga match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Lahti, was also a home game here at Bolt Arena. The away team is better rested.
HIFK form and stats
HIFK are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Veikkausliiga games here at Bolt Arena. We have seen two home losses in a row now for HIFK, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The HIFK crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to Lahti here at Bolt Arena in a Veikkausliiga match. Before that match, a win away at RoPS.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how HIFK have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won four, drawn one and lost two.
HIFK are traveling soon after this match as the Veikkausliiga match at Mariehamn awaits in four days.
At Bolt Arena, HIFK has the goal stats of 0-6 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
SJK form and stats
As the visiting team in Veikkausliiga matches, SJK have produced an overall stat of 0-1-0 so far.
SJK might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Mariehamn proved too strong as SJK slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at OmaSP Stadion. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Lahti that ended 0-0.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with SJK playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were zero SJK wins, four draws and four defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Veikkausliiga trip to KuPS.
It's early days yet, but SJK has scored 0 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
