It's still early in the Veikkausliiga season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Honka - SJK preview!
- Honka have the most conceded goals (10) in Veikkausliiga
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting SJK have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-6-6 (win-draw-loss) from 19 matches.
Honka form and stats
Honka have less points than they have played home games in the Veikkausliiga so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Honka, their manager V. Vasara and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Honka are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Lahti.
Preceding that match was the home game against Inter Turku that was lost 1-2.It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Honka at home in the league. 1 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
SJK form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Veikkausliiga, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 11 matches.
SJK's previous game was their home loss versus HJK (0-2).
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Oulu at their stadium, the result 2-0.2 goals so far away for SJK, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Honka, three draws and two wins for SJK. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
