On Saturday afternoon, Haka and Lahti meet in the Finnish Veikkausliiga, as both teams look to kick-start their league campaigns after inconsistent starts.
Haka
The home team heads into this game on a woeful recent run of form in the Veikkausliiga. In fact, Teemu Tainio’s team are winless in their previous five league matches, having suffered four defeats.
The main reason for their struggles of late has been poor defensive displays, as Haka has conceded at least two goals in four of those five winless matches.
Haka’s recent home form in the Veikkausliiga has been mixed, as they have taken just one point from their last two league games. However, they were unbeaten in seven home games in the Finnish top-flight before those poor results.
Their recent home matches in Veikkausliiga have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight home matches in the league.
Haka are unbeaten in seven meetings with Lahti in all competitions, although four of those games have finished in draws.
Lahti
Like their opposition, Lahti have endured a mixed start to their league campaign and currently sit two places and two points below Haka in the table.
The visitor's recent record in the Veikkausliiga is concerning, as they have lost four of their last six league games. Their recent league games have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight outings in the Finnish top-flight.
Despite their poor recent run of general league form, Lahti’s away form has been solid, as a 3-2 defeat at HJK in their last away game ended a five-game unbeaten away run in the Veikkausliiga.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Haka will get back to winning ways by recording a win in a low-scoring encounter.
