Draw

Both Lahti and SJK carry decent form into their Veikkausliiga encounter on Sunday and our prediction tips the sides to eventually cancel each other out at the Lahden Stadion. Lahti are unbeaten in six assignments, though each of their last three matches finished all square, while SJK have tasted defeat just once in four away tests so far this term.

Under 2.5 Goals

SJK have been one of the division’s most defensively resolute teams this season and only runaway leaders HJK have conceded fewer goals so far. SJK’s watertightness in their own third comes at a cost further up the pitch, however, and they are averaging just 1.0 goals per 90 minutes of action. Unsurprisingly, nine of their first ten games of the 2021 Veikkausliiga campaign have produced under 2.5 goals as a result and the same market holds plenty of appeal for Sunday’s clash.

Highest Scoring Half: Second

A game of fine margins is anticipated when SJK visit Lahti on Sunday and the evidence suggests that supporters might have to wait until the second half to get off their seats. Remarkably, SJK have conceded zero goals and scored just once in the first half of their away fixtures so far this term. In addition, not a single goal was notched in the opening 45 minutes in 100% of the last six league skirmishes between these teams.

Lahti vs SJK: Match Preview

Lahti

Lahti are targeting continental qualification this season having just missed out on securing European football last term and their haul of 15 points from the first nine games of the 2021 Veikkausliiga suggests they should be right in the mix. At home, they have only been bested once in five matches and the point Ilir Zeneli’s troops secured at a strong Inter Turku outfit last week showed that The Black Drones can mix it with the division’s best.

SJK

SJK made light work of Mariehamn last week, rattling three goals without reply past the relegation candidates to record a third victory in their last four attempts. Jani Honkavaara’s improved side look ready to better last year’s seventh-place finish if their early performances are anything to go by and their success has been powered by the displays of three-man defensive unit Nikko Boxall, Cristian Valencia and Ville Tikkanen.
