FC Inter vs Honka Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Although the Veikkausliiga title looks like it is HJK Helsinki’s to lose, if they are to drop off the pace then the battle for who would replace them at the top of the table is an intriguing one, as there at least four other candidates. Just below that battle are two sides who you wouldn’t fancy to win the league, but who will be hoping for three points to ensure they do not get dragged into the relegation battle either.

This Tuesday’s clash between FC Inter Turku sees a side who have proven to be difficult opposition for the majority of the league against an FC Honka side who have been in pretty decent form of late. With the hosts feeling the pressure from behind and the form of the visitors, we think that backing both teams to hit the back of the net is the way to go in this fixture.

Inter Turku may be in the bottom half of the table, but they have proven themselves to be more than capable of testing the opposition’s defence throughout the season. The hosts have managed to find the back of the net nine times in their previous five outings but the fact that they have also seen the opposition score 26 times against them this season, the third worst defensive record in the division, shows just where their problems have been this term.

It is a story which is much the same for the visitors as they are the third highest scorers in the Veikkausliiga, with 21 goals coming from their 14 outings this season. However, the fact that 79% of their matches have seen both sides hit the back of the net shows that they have problems in defence of their own and frequently they have to score more than once in order to claim the points.

The hosts may have to do this the hard way, but they are the second most in form side in the division, with 15 points in their previous eight outings and they look a good bet to add another three points to their tally. With this in mind, we think that backing there to be over 2.5 goals scored and combining it with an away win looks to be a good bet for those of you looking for something which offers a higher return.
