Date: Sun 06.October
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Lahti are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 11th.

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.

Lahti form and stats

When playing at home in the Veikkausliiga, Lahti have managed 4 wins, 5 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 11 games.

Lahti drew their last game, also a home match. HIFK was the opponent, 2-2 the score. In the game before, an away victory match versus VPS with a 2-1 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lahti perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lahti as a small favourite), we find ten games. Lahti has won 3 of these, drawn 5 and lost 2.

The Lahti fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 11 matches. Lahti's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

KPV form and stats

There's been little loot from KPV's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 11 away games in the Veikkausliiga. KPV, who have the most conceded goals (39) in Veikkausliiga, only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws.

Two travels in a row for KPV, whose manager J. Uotinen could celebrate last time after the Veikkausliiga win against SJK. A home win before that, celebrating 4-1 vs RoPS.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with KPV playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 0 KPV wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting KPV as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. The KPV manager J. Uotinen has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head
