Honka form and stats
Honka have played three Veikkausliiga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Three consecutive losses here at Tapiolan Urheilupuisto is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
Honka are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus KuPS.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at HIFK.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Honka have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost one.
Honka has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Honka defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
