There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Veikkausliiga table so far. Here's the Mariehamn - Lahti latest:
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.
Mariehamn form and stats
When playing at home in the Veikkausliiga, Mariehamn, who have the most clean sheets (4) at home in Veikkausliiga, have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 6 games. There’s a good atmosphere here at Wiklöf Holding Arena after three straight home wins.
Mariehamn are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-6 away versus HJK. Before that, Mariehamn had a home game versus RoPS which ended with a victory 4-0.
As you see from the result above, Mariehamn suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Mariehamn have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost three.

Lahti form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Veikkausliiga travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
Lahti's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Inter Turku that finished 2-2. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Haka that ended 2-2.
Drawing 2-2 against Inter Turku after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager I. Zeneli needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lahti playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Lahti wins, four draws and three defeats.
Lahti are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 10 times in 6 away games so far. Lahti struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 10 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Mariehamn, zero draws and five wins for Lahti. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
