FC Lahti
- FC Lahti are currently 7th in the Veikkausliiga 2026 table with 6 points from their opening 5 matches.
- Lahti have won 2 and lost 3 of their 5 games so far this season, so the form has been mixed but they picked up their first win at home in the league against AC Oulu (2-1) in their last fixture.
IFK Mariehamn
- IFK Mariehamn are 12th and last with 2 points from their 5 games to date.
- Mariehamn have lost both of their away games in the Veikkausliiga 2026, failing to score and conceding an average of 2.00 goals per match on their travels.
- Mariehamn have been in poor form recently, drawing 2 and losing 3 of their last 5, and having lost back-to-back games, the visitors arrive in Finland desperate for a win.
Head-to-Head
Mariehamn thrashed Lahti 4-0 in the Liigacup 2026, the most recent meeting between these two sides, but the visitors are winless in their last 3 trips to Lahti and we think that the host’s home advantage could be enough to help them to a victory on Sunday.
Key Players
- Momodou Sarr leads the attack and with 2 of their 4 league goals, he is the hosts’ main threat.
- Adam Larsson is Mariehamn’s top scorer with 1 goal in the Veikkausliiga 2026, while Emmanuel Patut has been a creative outlet, providing 1 assist in his 5 outings so far.
Betting Insights
Lahti to win and under 2.5 goals will be the main selection for Sunday’s Veikkausliiga game, while the 1.63 odds are a great price for a Lahti win and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.74 also looks good given that the home side average just 1.00 goals scored per home game this season.
Prediction
FC Lahti have won 1 and lost 1 in the Veikkausliiga 2026 at home, averaging 1.00 goals per home match , and they look set to edge IFK Mariehamn in Sunday’s game.
