SJK HIFK betting prediction

After 5 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses, the home team is in the 8^th position, havinf won 20 points so far. In the last match, they have lost at home against Lahti by (0‑1), after in the previous match they have won (0‑1) an away match against Inter Turku. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 18 conceded. For the league, SJK won 11 points out of 24 possible points, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 8 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (4 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 4 of the last 16 matches for the Veikkausliiga, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 4 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 9 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 10 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Despite having debuted in this competition with a win, SJK stayed the next 10 rounds without winning and were in the fight against the relegation zone, but achieved 4 consecutive victories (between the 12th and 15th round) and fired on the leaderboard. In the last round, however, this team was defeated at home to a direct opponent in the competition and had their momentum interrupted. Even so, SJK follows 8 points away from the relegation zone, currently occupying 8th position on the table, with 20 points earned in 16 rounds played. In total, the team that plays this match at home has 5 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses, with 16 goals scored and 17 conceded. As we can observe, this is a team that has reasonably balanced sectors but cannot maintain good regularity. Thus, the probability is that SJK will find difficulty facing HIFK, who still dreams of the first places of the competition.
