HIFK vs Lahti Predictions

• HIFK have lost just one of their last five matches
• Lahti are unbeaten in seven league matches
• Of the last ten matches featuring either of these teams, only two have beaten the 2.5 goal line

Lack of goals in Helsinki

HIFK have had a reasonable start to their season with four wins and four draws from 10 games. This has only left them in seventh place however, in what is proving to be a very competitive Veikkausliiga campaign. The main thing has has stunted their progress has been a lack of goals with the side only scoring an average of a goal a game. Their defensive record has been much better though with just eight goals conceded in 10 games.

Lahti have had a similar season so far, winning just one more game than their opponents on Monday but sitting three places higher in the league. They’ve also been able to score five more goals but have conceded in excess of a goal a game on average.

Neither of these sides have a significant advantage over the other and this should lead to a really tight game on Monday night. We can’t see the 2.5 goal line being beaten and we’re confident in predicting there will be less than 2.5 goals in this game, so much so that our correct score prediction for this tie is 0-0.
