HIFK to Win
HIFK broke their four-game winless run with a superb 1-0 triumph at high flying Inter Turku last time out and jumped into the top six in the Veikkausliiga in the process. Back at the Bolt Arena in Helsinki, the Reds are worth backing to make it back-to-back victories when they host second from bottom KTP. The visitors haven't won any of their last nine contests and their players look completely devoid of confidence.
Under 2.5 Goals
While we expect HIFK to pocket the points on Friday, a deluge of goalmouth action looks unlikely in the Finnish capital. Ten of HIFK’s 12 Veikkausliiga fixtures this season have produced under 2.5 goals, while KTP have notched one or fewer times in eight of their last nine assignments. With goal-getters in short supply in each camp, we recommend backing under 2.5 goals to be plundered again
Half Time Result: HIFK
HIFK have been very much a first-half team at the Bolt Arena this season, scoring 80% of their efforts at home in the opening period. With their habit of starting quickly on their own patch well established, HIFK – who have led at the interval in three of their six home fixtures this term – look excellent value to hold an advantage at the break again on Friday.
HIFK vs KTP: Match Preview
HIFK
HIFK are one of just two teams in the Veikkausliiga yet to taste lost an away match this season and though their home form pales in comparison, they have a chance to improve their record on Friday. Spanish coach Joaquín Gómez has already masterminded a victory over KTP this term when HIFK claimed maximum points thanks to a 2-0 victory over the relegation candidates in June.
KTP
Veikkausliiga new boys KTP are still just one place off the foot of the table, though Argo Arbeiter’s troops did manage to earn a share of the spoils in three of their last four fixtures. Finding a regular route to goal continues to be a major problem for the relegation contenders however and only two clubs in the Finnish top tier have hit the net fewer times.
