VPS is standing at the 5th position and have 9 points less than their opponent Lahti, the second best team in Veikkausliiga.
Home team is playing very solid this season, but their recent performance is not on the high level. They won only once in their last 4 matches in all competitions (1-1-2).
For today’s match they will be without few regular players, especially in defence. Some of them are injured, while others are out due to suspensions.
The second goalkeeper Henri Sillanpää (6/0 gk), Antti Uimaniemi (0/0 d), Timi Lahti (9/1 d), Teemu Honkaniemi (18/1 d) and Thomas Kula (19/1 m) are all out, while their first goalkeeper Janne Henriksson (15/0 gk), an important defender Ville Koskimaa (19/2 d) and Jarno Parikka (10/1 f) are all doubtful.
The position of goalkeeper could be a problem for VPS. If their first goalkeeper Janne Henriksson (15/0 gk) couldn’t start the match, it means that young and inexperienced 20-year old Karl-Filip Eriksson (1/0 gk) will be on the goal line.
Lahti is standing at the 2nd position and have 10 points less than leader HJK, but HJK have one match more.
The visitors are in a very good form. They have 3 wins in a row and on all those matches they didn’t conceded a single goal.
Actually, Lahti have the best defence in Veikkausliiga. On 21 matches they conceded only 10 goals.
Lahti will be without two players: Eero Korte (13/0 m) and Drilon Shala (12/3 f).
The visitors are in better position and they could take all three points today, but I’ll cover this bet with Asian handicap.
VPS vs Lahti Betting Tip: Lahti Ah+0 @ 1.6 (Bet365)
