FC Jokerit Helsinki v FC Lahti
Thursday 3rd July at 17:30 CET
FC Jokerit Helsinki:
Season: 3-2-5, 12-11
Home: 2-1-2, 8-4
Form: 0-1-4, 3-7
FC Lahti:
Season: 2-4-4, 11-15
Away: 0-3-1, 5-9
Form: 2-2-1, 10-10
Newly promoted Jokerit from Helsinki had a great start to the new season and they got 10 points in the first 5 games. Since then, everything has went wrong for Jokerit: They are 0-1-4 in the last 5. Two of those games were against lowly KuPS who only had 1 point after the first 8 rounds: Jokerit were beaten twice by KuPS which hardly is impressive.
Lahti on the other hand are starting to heat up and they haven't lost in the last 4 games. On the road they've just lost 1 of 4 games.
Jokerit have a few regulars either on the injury-list or on the "doubtfull-list" and given their poor recent form, I think that Lahti have a great chance of at least grabbing a draw.
Take FC Lahti +0.5 @ 1.75 (Ladbrokes)
(I played it yesterday at 1.80 but i still think 1.75 is worth a punt. Pinnacle opened at 1.769 and are now showing 1.69)
