Football betting preview: Honka favourites when RoPS visits

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting RoPS have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-10-7 (win-draw-loss) from 24 matches. It's quite the trip for RoPS when visiting Honka as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

Honka form and stats

When playing at home, Honka have managed 2 wins, 1 draw and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games.

Honka's last game was hosting RoPS and winning 1-0. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting HJK.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Honka's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won 1 match, drawn 1 and lost 0.

Honka has scored 7 goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Honka's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

RoPS form and stats

2-1-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for RoPS in their matches away.

RoPS play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Honka. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Lahti at their stadium, the result 2-1.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of RoPS when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing 2 times, drawing 0 and winning 1 game.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting RoPS as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games. As opposed to that, RoPS have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
