Competition: Finland Veikkausliiga

Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Tapiolan Urheilupuisto (5500 seats)

Honka perform at a high level so far being 3rd in the table. SJK can look both up and down from their 6th position.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This pitch has grass, which is not SJK's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass SJK have performed like this: Played 20 matches resulting in 5 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats with the goal stats 16-22 (scored/conceded).

Honka form and stats

The story so far for Honka at their home stadium (Tapiolan Urheilupuisto) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

Happy days for Honka in their previous game, a Veikkausliiga match away at VPS that ended with a 3-2 victory. Preceding that match was a defeat to Ilves (1-2).

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 six games) they have won 2 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.

The Honka fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 13 in 9 matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
