With their 3 point advantage in the league table, Lahti fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against RoPS.

It's no vacation for neither Lahti nor RoPS as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Lahti form and stats

1-4-0 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for Lahti so far this season.

The Lahti crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to RoPS here at Lahden Kisapuisto in a Veikkausliiga match. In the game before, an away victory match versus Mariehamn with a 1-0 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 seven games. Lahti has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

RoPS form and stats

As the visiting team RoPS have produced an overall stat of 2-1-2 so far. Momentum is building for RoPS in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Two travels in a row for RoPS, whose manager P. Tuutti could celebrate last time after the Veikkausliiga win against Lahti. A 0-1 loss hosting HJK before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with RoPS playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were 5 RoPS wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting RoPS as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games. 7 goals have been conceded by RoPS in these games.
