I must say that I find haka's odds tempting, +0.25 available at 2.05 atm. HJK have been poor quite a while now, and 0-3-6 at home, Haka are 3-0-0 5-2 away, they are 3-2-0 last five, also won this match 2-1 last season.

Yea, I find that price very strange as well. HFK stinking so far, and Haka with only 1 loss in 8 games, and they get +1/4 ball and + money ? I dont know where to check for team news, since that is about the only thing that I can think of. Maybe Haka is missing some important players for this one ?? If not, I dont get it..

[Dominator]

And doesn't the odds on Mypa seem pretty high as well ? 1.95 at home against the team placed last with a 0-0-4 record away ?

Anyone have squad info on these games ?

I suspect the reason for the odds is that the expectation is that very few goals will be scored, in which case the games could really go either way. I haven't heard any missings that would explain it.

hey G:G.. got any thoughts on FC Honka-Lahti?? or the allsvenskan matches??

[Mixer]

Honka-Lahti

Both teams are trying to play offensive and are also capaple of doing that. Honka has struggled scoring goals early in the season but they have been better lately. In their last 4 games they have scored 3 times at least 2 goals. Altogether 5/9 of their games has been over 2,5 this season. Also Lahti has played highscoring games and altogether 6/8 of their games has gone over 2,5. Last year Honka won both games against Lahti. At home 5-0 and at away 1-3.

Honka will be favorites here, but what I like most in this game is over 2,5.

Honka-Lahti, over 2,5 @ 1,93 @ Betfair

[G:G]

I'm probably crazy going against Mixer who's been on fire, but here you go:

Honka - Lahti under 2.5 goals @ 2.08 (Pinnacle)
Honka have scored 5 goals in 5 home matches, Lahti have scored 3 goals in 4 away matches. Lahti scored 6 goals last match, but the opposition, VPS, can't be compared to Honka. The thing that speaks against this bet is that Honka scored three goals vs TPS away last match, maybe they have finally got their attacking to work now. I still must give under about a 50% chance, so 2.08 have a value, albeit not big.

[allthethings]

Hey GG, what do you think of even money for a Honka straight win? Neither team is of the type to settle for a draw and I agree that Lahti's last game isn't all that relevant and that road form hasn't been great. H2h laso favors Honka, three straight against Lahti last year or so.

[SaberBlade83]

I've heard that both Honka and Lahti will be missing a couple of players, but that it's a bigger blow for the away team. Anyone know anything about this and can confirm? Looking back between the two sides I would probably back Honka on the -0.5 AH @ 2.05. They appear to also be in pretty good form.

[allthethings]

Honka missing Hakanpaa (suspended midfielder; 5/9)...don't know how important he is. Also Helin (defender, injured; 3/9) and several other bit players.

Lahti missing Haara (defender, injured, 3/8), Leppanen (midfielder, injured, 3/8).

Doesn't seem like missings mean that much, but really don't know.

[ksk1912]

Missing players both side ;

Honka : Hakanpaa (suspendedı) (middelfield), Peltonen (goalkeeper), Heilala (defender), Lagerblom (defender), Helin (defender)
Lahti : Haara (defender), Leppanen (middelfield), Rantanen (middelfield), Kemppinen (forward)

The others listed here who I didn't have played in 0 or 1 game this season.

[SaberBlade83]

Okay, thanks guys for the info on the missing players. Doesn't really look to do any impact on either team really. Oh well, I'll give Honka a shot today at least.

Me too. GL

[BetGuru]

I will take the over in the match between FC Honka vs FC Lathi. The price of 1.85 seems to be a good choice for today's matches!!!

[allthethings]

32 minutes in, and the best thing we can say is Lahti haven't scored. They've dominated possession here...They each have one shot on goal, but Lahti have the only two corners, have taken 4 shots off target, have an 8-3 advantage in free kicks...hope they tire themselves out and Honka hit them on a break.

Sorry, missed this question, but my answer would have been Honka at 2.05 must be worth a try. Do you have anyt to report now that 1st half is over? Would really appreciate it.

[allthethings]

Yes, first half was Lahti's, but no goals.

Honka have two yellow cards and one shot on goal. Lahti lead in free kicks 10-3, corners 4-1, total shots 5-2.
