Lahti vs Gnistan Prediction & Betting Tips (19 June)

Nine wins from their previous 11 home games in the Veikkausliiga suggests that Lahti are a force to be reckoned with on their own patch, and they need to keep on winning in order to maintain their bid for promotion. Gnistan, meanwhile, are battling to beat the drop, which is not surprising when you consider that they have suffered nine defeats in their last 13 matches.

When Gnistan come calling at the top table of the Veikkausliiga, under 2.5 goals tends to follow, with this being the case in 17 of their last 19 away matches, including in nine on the bounce of late. As for Lahti, 14 of their previous 19 home games at this level have also produced two goals or fewer, including a win and a draw against these opponents.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from each of the previous five Lahti matches in the Veikkausliiga, so there is no reason to see this pattern changing against Gnistan. One reason for this is that it has also been the case in each of the Toffees’ last three away games at this level, so both teams are on the same page.
