RoPS Lahti betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 12^th position of the league, with 5 points won, after 1 win, 2 draws and 15 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Haka, by (0‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against HJK, by (4‑0). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 1 draw and 12 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses at their stadium. In the last 9 home league matches RoPS has a record of 2 draws and 7 losses, so they have won 2 points out of 27 possible.

They have lost the last 6 home matches and haven't won any of the last 9 home matches for this competition. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, and their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They haven't been able to score the first goal. In fact, they have only opened up the score in 2 of the last 18 matches for the Veikkausliiga, and have never reached half‑time in advantage. They have conceded the first goal in 16 of their 18 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

The home team of this match surprised by winning for the first time this year in the penultimate round, playing away from home. However, in the last match, against Helsinki, the RoPS were beaten and reached its 15th loss in the current competition, in 18 rounds played, being the other results 2 draws and only 1 win. As it could not fail to be, this team occupies the last position of the table, adding only 5 points (7 behind the penultimate placed). With only 12 goals scored and an incredible 39 conceded (average of more than 2 goals conceded per match), the RoPS has the least efficient attack and, at the same time, the weakest defense of this competition. Therefore, although the team in this match achieved some motivation with the first victory of the season, the expectation is that will not be able to present great resistance against Lahti.
