Honka Preview – Can Honka return to winning ways?
4th placed Honka know they can’t afford any more slip-ups as they prepare for this Thursday evening’s clash against 9th placed Mariehamn as the hosts have failed to win any of their last four matches overall in the Veikkausliiga and they’re in danger of dropping out of the top six.
Recent draws with HJK, Inter Turku and HIFK along with a 2-1 defeat at home to Haka have resulted in Honka losing ground on the teams above them while the likes of 7th placed Lahti are now just three points adrift.
That said, Honka have lost just twice throughout this Finnish top flight season and just twice at home in the last 12 matches, so the hosts are still more than capable of turning things around here, and having won the last four meetings on the trot against Mariehamn, they still pose a serious threat for the visitors in this one.
Mariehamn Preview – Can Mariehamn break drought?
9th placed Mariehamn find themselves five points adrift of the top six in the Veikkausliiga and 6th placed HIFK prior to these midweek fixtures in the Finnish top flight after failing to win any of their last seven matches overall.
Four defeats against HJK 6-1, Ilves 2-0, KuPS 2-0 and a 3-1 loss away from home at Lahti is not ideal preparation to take on a current top six outfit such as Honka, and although they’ve picked up points in draws with Lahti, TPS and HIFK, their chances of a top six finish are starting to dwindle.
In addition, an away record of 2-2-5 15/23 includes no wins from their last five matches on the road and they also possess the worst defensive record away from home in the Veikkausliiga (which includes no clean sheets), so their prospects don’t look too promising for this clash.
