Honka form and stats

Things could have gone better for Honka in their Veikkausliiga away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. Two points from the last two away games for Honka, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

The supporters enjoyed Honka's previous game versus RoPS (placed 11th), a Veikkausliiga 1-0 win played at home. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Inter Turku.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Honka manager V. Vasara as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against TPS.

It's early days yet, but Honka has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Lahti, two draws and two wins for Honka. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
