Lahti form and stats

When playing at home, Lahti have managed 3 wins, 5 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 9 games. Lahti has recorded two wins in a row here at Lahden Kisapuisto, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

The Lahti supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host KPV in Veikkausliiga and win 1-0. Before that match, a win away at SJK.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lahti have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 5 Lost 3.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for KPV, who have the most conceded goals (32) in Veikkausliiga, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-6 (win-draw-lose). KPV seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
