Lahti vs FC Inter Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

The Veikkausliiga in Finland is quickly heating up and the battle for this years title might just be a bit more competitive than it looked a few weeks ago. One of the sides attempting to chase down leaders HJK Helsinki is an FC Lahti side whose form has dipped in recent weeks. However, they have the opportunity to kick on again this weekend when they welcome FC Inter Turku to the Lahti Stadium on Saturday, and we think that they will have enough about them to claim all three points.

We do not expect things to be easy though, as the visitors have proven to be pretty effective in front of goal this term. They are also excellent on the road and have earned 71% of their points away from home. With this in mind, we think if the hosts are to emerge victorious then they are going to have to battle hard for the points. In light of this, we think that combining our initial tip of a home win with a both teams to score bet looks to be an excellent way to increase the odds on offer.

FC Lahti started the season in excellent form and immediately put themselves in title contention. However, they have frequently found themselves unable to break sides down and too often have they had to settle for a share of the spoils. Wednesday’s 1-0 defeat at the hands of struggling SJK should mean that they come into this match with the bit between their teeth and given that they are yet to suffer defeat in front of their own fans this season, we still think that they should have enough in the tank to claim the victory.

FC Inter have also had their troubles of late and they go into this match without a win in any of their previous five outings. A major part of their inability to gain a victory is their defensive record and in those same five matches they have conceded nine goals. It is not as if it is a new problem either as they have conceded 31 times this season, a record which is the second worst in the league. However, they do have strength up top and with 67% of their away matches finishing with both teams scoring they are unlikely to be intimidated on Saturday evening.
