Honka vs TPS Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

As the Veikkausliiga passes it’s halfway point, there has been little time for the sides to take stock of their performances so far. This weekend sees two sides clash who have had very different seasons so far, as the over achieving FC Honka welcome a below par Turku PS to Tapiolan Urheilupuisto. Despite the difference in form of these two sides, neither seem capable of being able to keep a clean sheet in this campaign and, with this in mind, we think that backing both teams to score is the way to go.

However, the hosts form is hard to ignore and they should really come out of this match on top, especially if their aspirations of a top three finish come the end of the season is to be realised. With this in mind, we think that combining our initial tip of both teams to score with an FC Honka win represents an excellent opportunity for those of you willing to trade off a higher risk bet with an increased return.

Despite the excellent form of the hosts, they have struggled to keep their opposition at bay and the fact that they have kept a clean sheet in just 11% of their outings shows that they seem to concentrate on their creative abilities more than their defensive ones. It is also worth noting that 79% of their outings this term has seen both teams find the back of the net and only one of their previous 10 matches have seen one of the sides fail to score.

Their visitors may have the worst away record in all of the Veikkausliiga, but they have started to look a little more dangerous in recent weeks. Two wins in their previous four outings has certainly lifted their spirits but, perhaps a greater sign for our bet is the fact that they have scored six times in those four games and against a side which doesn’t tend to keep clean sheets, they will be looking to further extend this recent improvement up top.
