HJK Lahti betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match involves two teams that fight for opposing things within the competition and, therefore, there is wide favoritism for Helsinki, because, in addition to playing at home, it presents numbers that place it among the teams with the best attack and also the best defense of the competition. With an average of just over 2 goals scored and less than 1 conceded per game, the home team must control the game and has everything to achieve victory. On the other hand, as the visiting team is unlikely to swing the nets and, on the other hand, does not usually suffer many goals, betting on the option "Under 3.5 goals" in the match is a great choice.

Preview
HJK and Lahti meet at Sonera Stadium, in a match for the 8th round of the Veikkausliiga. HJK got an away win by (0‑4), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 01‑07‑2020. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 8 head‑to‑heads they won 3, tied 3 and lost 2. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Veikkausliiga, on 23‑10‑2019, HJK only reached the win by (4‑1), after a penalti shootout. P. Forsell (33' ) and E. Mensah (37' ) scored for HJK and Josu Currais (68' ) and J. Assehnoun (78' ) for Lahti. Lahti registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis HJK

The home team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 13 points won, after 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Ilves, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against KuPS, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches HJK has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 14 of the last 16 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 7 of the last 9 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 6 of those 7 matches and have always held on to the lead until the end of the 90'. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 4 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The team that plays this match at home is the biggest champion in the history of Finland, with a total of 47 national titles, 29 of which are from the first national division. Despite losing their hegemony in 2015, after dominating the competition for 6 consecutive years, they returned to the top in 2017 and won a double championship in 2018. Last year (2019), however, they did an atypical campaign and finished only in 5th place. This year, the team reached the final of the Finnish Cup in an unbeaten manner, still haven't lost at home and their only defeat, in the 3rd round of the current competition, was against Inter Turku (1-0), the current leader of Veikkausliiga. HJK Helsinki is in 3rd place, with 13 points in 6 games: 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, with a total of 13 goals scored and only 4 conceded. This team has balance in all sectors of the field and, as a result, rarely loses. Their solid defense always makes a victory easier, and their attack rarely misses the goal. Especially when playing at home, Helsinki is almost unstoppable, and has everything to confirm favoritism in this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Antonio Reguero, Miro Tenho, Ivan Ostojić, Luis Murillo, Henri Toivomaki, Atomu Tanaka, Lucas Lingman, Rasmus Schüller, Santeri Väänänen, Tim Vayrynen, Eetu Vertainen.
Coach: M. Lehkosuo.

Analysis Lahti

The away team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 8 points won, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against TPS, by (1‑3). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Honka, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 21 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Lahti has won 7 and lost 3. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 11 of the last 15 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

This is a recent team in football, having been founded only in 1996. But make no mistake, Lahti is a team used to playing in the Finnish football elite, having reached the first division of the national championship in 1998. Since then, the team has been demoted only once, in 2010, but returned the following year (2011), winning the second division title for the second time. However, Lahti never won the Veikkausliiga and their record in the competition, so far, is not the best. In 6 games played, the team has 2 wins (both away from home), 2 draws and 2 losses: in all, there have been 8 goals conceded and 6 scored. This is a team with value, that likes to surprise when playing away from home, but has little chance in this match. In the first match in which they faced Helsinki, in the 1st round of the competition, Lahti was defeated by 0-4 even playing at home.

Confirmed Lineup: Joona Tiainen, Viljami Isotalo, Jean Coubronne, Mikko Viitikko, Teemu Jäntti, Akoete Eninful, Mikko Kuningas, Valdrin Rashica, Pyry Lampinen, Matti Klinga, Altin Zeqiri.
Coach: I. Zeneli.
