IFK Mariehamn vs Honka Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Things are well and truly heating up in the Veikkausliiga as all the sides know all about the strength of their opponents and exactly what their opposition are made of.  This Wednesday’s meeting between IFK Mariehamn and FC Honka sees a clash of two sides on a very different trajectory and we think that the form book is going to be key in deciding who will take the points in this clash.

The hosts have been in no sort of form and they are quickly being dragged into the relegation picture, despite a pretty competent start to the campaign. It is a stark contrast to the visitors, who started the season slowly but have looked rejuvenated of late. With this in mind, we think that backing the visitors to claim the points looks to be the way to go.

IFK Mariehamn have now lost 10 of their 17 matches this season and, given that seven of their previous nine outings have finished up this way, it seems almost inevitable that their confidence will be nearly non-existent at the moment. It is pretty easy to see where their troubles are, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their previous nine matches and their 34 goals conceded so far is comfortably the worst defensive record in the division.

FC Honka, on the other hand, will go into this match fully confident in their ability to add another three points to their tally. After the league leaders, Honka are the most in form side in the Veikkausliiga, with 15 points coming from their previous eight matches.
