Honka form and stats

Honka have collected 6 points from their Veikkausliiga home games so far after 2-0-3. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Tapiolan Urheilupuisto.

A nice win for Honka last time playing, versus Oulu. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Demba Savage scoring for the victors.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Haka that finished 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Honka perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Honka as a small favourite), we find seven games. Honka has won two of these, drawn three and lost two.

Honka have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Honka have conceded 6 goals.
