Lahti vs Honka Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

It has been a pretty good start to the season for fourth placed FC Lahti in the Finnish Veikkausliiga but this Tuesday sees them face off against an FC Honka side who are in pretty decent shape themselves at the moment. The form of the visitors is such that we think that they will be able to come away from the Lahti Stadium with a positive result.

The bookies clearly fancy a home win in this one and we admit it is a dangerous thing to back against. However, that also gives us a little bit of security to play around with in the odds. We think it is worth taking a bit of a hit in the potential return in order to add the ‘Draw – No Bet’ clause, which simply means that if the sides play out a draw then the bet would be made void and our stake would be returned.

The hosts may go into this match in pretty good shape having been undefeated in their previous seven outings, but the fact that four of them have been draws shows that they are hardly running away with the matches. In fact, there is further evidence of this as all three of the victories in this seven match undefeated run have come on the back of a single goal margin, meaning it is unlikely that the visitors will be out of the game even if they do go behind.

A defeat to HJK at the end of May is hardly what we are basing our tip on, but the fact that they managed to put two goals past the side which is clearly superior to all other challengers in the division shows the type of football Honka have played so far.
