FC Lahti Preview – Can Lahti make it three on trot?
Following recent back-to-back defeats in the Finnish top flight against KuPS and HJK, Thursday afternoon’s hosts, FC Lahti, have since bounced back in impressive fashion by winning their last two matches on the trot which has helped them back up into 4th place.
Victories over Honka and Mariehamn have restored FC Lahti’s confidence and the hosts now return to their Lahden Stadion for this important upcoming clash against Ilves in a much more positive frame of mind.
Results at home have also been pretty consistent for Lahti as the hosts have lost just two of their last 13 matches overall, while also winning four of their previous five meetings at home against Ilves as well.
Ilves Preview – Can Ilves continue winning run?
Back-to-back wins against KuPS and KTP will also give Thursday’s visitors, Ilves, a boost ahead of this encounter at FC Lahti as these wins have also helped lift Ilves up into 3rd spot on the Veikkausliiga table and a point above their hosts.
However, it should be noted that both of these recent victories were recorded on home turf at Ilves’s Ratinan Stadion where the hosts have won two of their opening three matches so far this season, while also being unbeaten in their last six matches on their travels.
Ilves stand a chance of getting something out of this clash on paper but previous visits to Lahti haven’t all gone their way and this could be a tough assignment for the visitors.
