- Honka have the fewest matches over the total-line (1) in Veikkausliiga

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Honka and Haka.
Honka form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Honka's two home games in the Veikkausliiga so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Tapiolan Urheilupuisto.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Honka, as their goalkeeper Maksim Rudakov has completely shut out the opponents for 213 minutes in the Veikkausliiga.
The Honka fans enjoyed the previous fixture, watching their team host Lahti and win 3-0.
Before that, Honka played out a draw 0-0 when visiting VPS.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Honka matches with similar probabilities have ended with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats (from 5 games).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as KuPS are coming to town in four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Honka's 2 home games: {3 goals}, 0 conceded.
Haka form and stats
It's not happening yet for Haka on their Veikkausliiga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different?
Lescano, Laine, Purme and Friberg scored in Haka's previous match, the home game against KTP that ended 4-2. Those three points felt nice as this side had gone four league matches without winning. An insane fixture with heaps of goals last time out for Haka, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that entertaining match, will this game be as gleeful?
A 0-2 defeat away at HJK before that.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Haka playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 0 away wins, 3 draws and 1 home win.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Haka manager Tainio as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Mariehamn.
{1 goals} so far away for Haka, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
