Important battle in the "wrong" end of the Veikkausliiga, with both Lahti and Mariehamn enduring more concern than pleasure. This game is a typical "six-pointer" with the host team at 10th and the away side in 12th place.
- Lahti have the fewest points (5) at home in Veikkausliiga
- Mariehamn have the most dropped points from leading position (13) in Veikkausliiga
This promises to be an intriguing match with lots of spark and excitement as both squads are well renewed since they last played a game. Get this show on the road!
Lahti form and stats
With 1 Veikkausliiga win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Lahti are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Lahti hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Haka, KTP and Lahti), they have won 1 of 2 matches!
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Lahti, who played 1-1 against SJK. That match was also played at this venue (Lahden Stadion).
Before that match, a win away at HJK.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 6 games. Lahti has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.
