Inter Turku form and stats

Only two Veikkausliiga home games for Inter Turku so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Inter Turku enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at HJK's place. The match ended 4-1 with Tamminen, Haro, Forsell and Källman scoring.

Ahead of that match, Inter Turku lost 0-2 at home to Haka.

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 Inter's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played eight games, won six matches, drawn zero and lost two.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Inter Turku as they have a new game in only four days, a Veikkausliiga match thankfully also at home. HJK are visiting.

Inter Turku has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Mariehamn form and stats

One match played away so far in the Veikkausliiga for Mariehamn and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss from 2 games.

Impressive finishing from Abubakari and Sumusalo secured the home win 2-1 against Oulu in their previous game.

A draw for Mariehamn before that, at their own venue hosting Honka (1-1).

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Mariehamn playing away, we found eight games. Results were two away wins, one draw and five home wins.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Finland Cup trip to Åland.

1 goal so far away for Mariehamn, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head
