Only a win will satisfy the Honka supporters in this Tapiolan Urheilupuisto clash with SJK, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Veikkausliiga table.

The hosts Honka saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Veikkausliiga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at TPS.

3 - 5 - 8 with 10-18. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for SJK when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. SJK play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
