With their 2 point advantage in the league table, Lahti fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Mariehamn.
The hosts Lahti saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Veikkausliiga. That game was an away game at Inter Turku, so at least Lahti are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Lahti form and stats
2 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Lahti have to build on here at Lahden Stadion in the Veikkausliiga.
The fans are hoping that Lahti will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Veikkausliiga game against Inter Turku (placed 3rd). Before that match, a win away at SJK.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Lahti have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost one.
The Lahti fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
