We use the rest day at the Football World Cup in Russia, to devote ourselves to a game of Veikkausliiga. In the highest Finnish league will be held on Wednesday the 17th matchday. It goes without saying for the betting base that we take a look at the betting odds for you to find a lucrative tip. In this article we will take a closer look at the match between SJK Seinäjoki and FC Lahti. Since certainly not every betting enthusiast pursues the Finnish league, we try with some facts to be helpful here. The game in the OmaSp Stadium in Seinäjoki will start at 16:30.
SJK:
The 2015 Finnish champion is obviously struggling this season. Now that half of the games have been completed, SJK is in the 12th league in tenth place in the table. Just three wins could be retracted in the past 16 games. Four more games ended in a draw, so they could only bring 13 points to their credit side. So they are tied with the team from Turku, which is on the relegation place. The lead on the bottom of the table is just two points. In this situation, a threesome in the home game against Lahti course would be worth gold. However, the recent results do not give much cause for optimism.
Only one of the last twelve league games has won the cup winner of 2016. The victory came in the home game 4-0 against TPS Turku. After that there were three defeats in a row, including against the bottom of the table PS Kemi. On the final day, Aleksey Eremenko’s team was able to score at least a 1-1 draw with Kuopion PS, a midfield midfielder. With 16 hits Seinäjoki has scored only one goal per game on average. With three goals each, Laaksonen and Mboma are the most accurate players. To repeat last season’s sixth place in the table, SJK has to start slowly to accelerate.
Lahti:
Things look a lot better there at FC Lahti. The south fins are currently in third place. However, as they have two more games to play than the leaders from Helsinki, they can reduce the gap to four points in case of two wins. And the omens are not bad. Only once did they lose out this season. The away game at RoPS was lost 0-2. This was followed by a series of twelve games without defeat, in which five wins and seven draws were fetched. Among other things, could be won at the leaders from Helsinki 2-1.
With 17 goals scored in 16 games, the team of coach Toni Korkeakunnas is certainly not among the most attacking teams, but with only eleven goals against them, they can rely on their defensive position for young Macedonian goalkeeper Damjan Siskovski. Last season, Lahti took fourth place in the table and was able to qualify for qualifying for the Europa League. Here they meet in the first round on the Icelanders from the FH Hafnarfjördur. But first, the concentration is the game in Seinäjoki. To stay tuned to the two top teams, this game should be won if possible.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.81
