It's the second chance for points this season as Lahti and SJK battle it out at Lahden Stadion.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
3-6-9 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for SJK when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 18 matches are 14-23 (scored/conceded).
Lahti form and stats
0-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Veikkausliiga numbers at home for Lahti so far this season.
Lahti's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-4 versus HJK (placed 1st). Heartbreak before that as Lahti lost 0-5 at Inter Turku's place.
Lahti were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Lahti at home in the league. 0 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Last season, Lahti's league statistics were 7 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, resulting in a 8th position in the Veikkausliiga. Over these 22 matches they scored 21 goals and conceded 29. Playing at home last season Lahti managed 4-5-2 (win-draw-lost) with 15 goals and 11 conceded.
SJK form and stats
259 minutes! That's how long the SJK goalkeeper Jesse Öst and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Impressive finishing from M. Hradecky secured the home win 1-0 against TPS in their previous game. Prior to that match, the SJK manager J. Honkavaara faced defeat when travelling to Ilves and losing 0-3.
Let's have a look at how SJK performed last season in the Veikkausliiga: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 7 victories, 7 draws and 8 defeats. In total they scored 17 and conceded 23 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 5 and lost 3 with 10/12 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Lahti, four draws and two wins for SJK. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: nine games.Top Goalscorers
