3 years ago 608

Honka will look to extend their winning streak in the Veikkausliiga when they welcome Mariehamn to Tapiolan Urheilupuisto in their Matchday 12 fixture on Saturday afternoon with kickoff at 15:00.

Honka have made a good campaign in the Veikkausliiga this season with the side now collecting 23 points from 11 games and sit third in the top-half of the table, six points behind league leaders KuPS.

They head into the match in a good form having only gone unbeaten in their last four league matches, picking up a draw and three consecutive victories in the run – including a narrow 1-0 win over Vaasa at away last time out.

Honka will now be looking to extend the run as they seek to remain in the title race, and having gone unbeaten at home in their last five games, Vesa Vasara’s side should be confident of picking up another positive result on Saturday.

Meanwhile Mariehamn have had a difficult campaign in the Veikkausliiga this season with the side managing just two victories from their 11 league matches so far. With now 10 points, they sit 10^th in the league standings three points above the bottom two, and five points off the top-half of the table.

They will now be looking to get closer to the top-half of the table with a victory on Saturday. They are coming off a confidence-boosting 2-1 home win over second-placed HJK, which is massive for Daniel Norrmen’s men.

The question is, can they build on the victory and cause another upset on Saturday. Well, do to that they will need to work on their poor away form and will need to be absolutely at their best. They have drawn 1-1 with Honka in their last two meetings and they will take a similar result rather than a defeat on Saturday.
