FC Lahti
- The formbook isn't likely to be a big help in picking a winner in this clash as FC TPS have been dogged but dull across their last 10 games across all competitions (W2, D5, L3), while FC Lahti have won four, drawn two and lost four of the same.
- Lahti's results do suggest a steady state rather than scorching form however, and their high-tempo, high-pressing game should test a TPS team that is built around possession and structure.
FC TPS Turku
- FC TPS Turku are winless in their last 5 matches, D3, L2.
- On the road across all competitions, FC TPS have won one, drawn two and lost two of their five games, but they have only conceded five goals in those five away fixtures.
- Ivan Pinol's men have set up in a 4-2-3-1, looking to play with the ball in good areas and get forward at every opportunity, which is a good formula.
- It's just zero wins in the last five for FC TPS though, so the visitors are looking a little blunt right now, and that has Lahti looking more likely to win at home.
Head-to-Head
- FC Lahti and FC TPS Turku tied 0-0 in the last match at Lahden Stadion 3 months ago.

- The hosts are a clear favorite at 1.74, with the visitors all the way out at 4.34 and the draw at 3.9, which makes the odds on Both Teams to Score: Yes at 1.71 a bit more interesting.
- Instead, Over 2.5 goals looks slightly favored at 1.73, as this game could get away from the teams if the first goal comes early.
- If you expect an open game the combination of Over 2.5 and Both Teams to Score is worth considering given the setups and recent form.
- Mustat kuhnurit can nick it at home.*
- FC TPS can nick a goal as well as a point.
