Lahti VPS betting prediction

The home team comes to this 2^nd round after a (6‑0) loss in their league debut, against Mariehamn. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses at their stadium. For the league, Lahti won 6 points out of 30 possible points, after 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 11 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, and their offense needs to do better, since they haven’t scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 8 of their last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. They haven't been able to score the first goal. In fact, they have only opened up the score in 5 of the last 23 matches for the Veikkausliiga, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 2 of those 5 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. They have conceded the first goal in 15 of their 23 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

FC Lahti comes for this match, which they play away from home, shaken by being in their worst moment of the season (without winning in 5 matches, of which they lost 4). Despite the opportunity they have to avoid the fall to Ykkonen (Finnish Second Division) in the dispute of this Relegation (second phase of the Veikkausliiga in which, with the score zero, the teams that finished the regular phase in the lower half of the leaderboard fight against relegation in 5 rounds played against each other). In the regular phase, Lahti started well, but plummeted in the leaderboard with bad results in the final stretch: there were 6 defeats, 3 draws and only one victory in the last 10 rounds. The performance left Lahti in the penultimate (11th) position of the regular phase leaderboard, having added just 18 points in the 22 matches played (computing 4 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses). It is relevant to consider that this team had a worse performance at home than away in this Veikkausliiga, having won only one, in addition to having lost 7 and drawn 3, of the 11 matches they played as home team. And in the last match, valid for the first round of the Relegation, Lahti lost 6-0 away from home, reached the 5th consecutive match without a win (the team's longest period without a win in the season) and is already at the bottom of the table.
