They have not been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. The team usually has no problem opening the scoring: it marked the first goal in 10 of the last 13 games for Veikkausliiga, of these 10 came to the break in advantage in 3 and managed to maintain the advantage until the end of the 90 ‘in 6. There are 2 periods that stand out in the last 10 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (76’-90 ‘); He suffered 3 of his 8 goals between the minutes (31’-45 ‘).
The Honka arrives at this game motivated, after conquering a point in the displacement to the land of the Mariehamn, adding in this way the third day followed without losing in this competition. We remember that the locals’ phase is positive, with 2 losses in the last 10 games. By acting in their stadium, the Honka should want to control the pace of the game, recover the ball quickly and create opportunities through organized attacks. Most likely he will play in 4-4-2. On an individual level we highlight the Spaniard Borjas Martín, player who scored 7 goals. From outside this game will be Jonas Levanen, due to physical problems.
KuPS Kuopio:
The away team is currently in the 3 rd position, with 23 points won, after 6 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against FC Lahti, by (5-1).

In the last 7 away matches for the championship, KuPS Kuopio has 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 12 points out of 21 possible. The team has conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, so they have not displayed great defensive solidity, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

In the last round of this competition, the visiting club added a draw against HJK, by 1-1: the only goal of the team was scored by Rangel. By playing away from home and facing a rival at the top of the leaderboard, we believe that coach Jani Honkavaara will present on the field a cautious eleven, benefiting the constant counterattacks through the flanks. When he was selected to play, Rangel was synonymous with goals, since in 9 games he has scored a total of 8 goals. All equipment is available for this game.
