Just two points separate HIFK and FC Lahti as both sides go against each other at the Helsinki Football Stadium this Monday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
FC Lahti heads into this matchup as the dominant side having won 11 matches in 20 meetings with their opponents. HIFK, on the other hand, have struggled in this fixture with just two wins under their belt.
Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards
HIFK heads into this highly-anticipated matchup winless in three games. With just two points copped in those three matches, they would need to start churning out decent results if they break into the championship playoff spot. They played out a goalless draw away at Mariehamn as both sides picked up a point each.
On the other hand, FC Lahti is one of the most in-form teams in the Finland Veikkausliiga as they head into this match unbeaten in their last seven games. With 15 points from a possible 21, they would take some silencing by any team in the Finnish top flight. In their most recent game, they secured a narrow 2-1 victory against SJK Seinajoko.
