SJK vs Lahti Betting Tips
FSS, universally known as the Club, has produced mixed results recently. Furthermore, they have won 3 of the last 5 matches in Veikkausliiga while losing the remaining 2. Currently, they are in 6th place in the league standings with 26 points from 7 wins and 5 draws. They sit on the edge of the Promotion Group and will be eager to stay like that. In addition, they are famous for their performances in front of host supporters. Therefore, I believe they took all three points this Friday.
On the other hand, Lahti, only has 1 win from the last 5 matches. Getting better than fierce rivals with big swings in form will prove difficult, if not impossible. Furthermore, the last time they won the FSS at OmaSp Stadion was more than 5 years ago. I see them as underdogs here, and I don't think they are able to upset them.

Forecast
Lahti only lost one of their last nine matches in all competitions, in the last round they recorded a goalless draw with Rovaniemi.
Lathe was ranked in 9th place in the standings and they failed to win 4 of the last 5 league matches.
SJK is ranked last in the standings with just 4 points, their last round recorded a big victory against Tur Tur. Both sides have met nine times so far and SJK has failed to win all of the last nine matches against their opponents today.
Prediction: Lahti 1- 0 FSS
