HIFK form and stats

Disaster struck HIFK last season as they could not defend their status as a Veikkausliiga team. With 15 defeats from 22 games, and only 1 win, relegation could not be avoided. HIFK are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W0 D1 L10.

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 HIFK have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 6 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2.
