FH Hafnarfjordur achieved a very important advantage in the first leg of this tie, beating Lahti away from home by 0-3: the goals were scored by Lennon, Bjornsson and Crawford. In this game against the fans, coach Ólafur Helgi Kristjánsson must act in the usual 4-2-3-1, privileging the low block and counterattacks, thus exploring the space in the back of the opponent’s defense. Steven Lennon is one of the best players of the FH Hafnarfjordur, he is very competent in the pass and has a great vision of the game. Everything indicates that the coach can count on all his players.
FC Lahti:
After the defeat at home, the visiting team comes to this second leg with a dismay of 3 goals and with the difficult task of recovering this negative result as a visitor. 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 2 wins, 8 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away matches FC Lahti has won 2, tied 5 and lost 3. Defensive consistency has not been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 games, he never got the comeback in the 4 games in which he suffered the first goal.
The Lahti confirmed the bad moment that crosses in the season and in the first party in front of the FH added a defeat by 0-3. Remember that the Irish have only 2 wins in the last 10 matches played in several competitions. Normally coach Toni Korkeakunnas plays in 4-2-3-1, privileging possession of the ball and attacks by the flanks, but in this game he must act in a more direct way: Hostikka and Hertsi must play for the wings, both being very competent in the offensive transition. The maintenance of possession of the ball is a strong point of the Lahti. There are no absences of weight for this game.
