📊 Form Guide
Helsinki IFK
LLDDLL ⚠
Helsinki IFK will be hoping to bounce back here following a 1-2 Veikkausliiga loss in their previous game against FC Honka.
The only name on the scoresheet from Helsinki IFK was Aatu Kujanpää (51'). Aldayr Hernández (66') and Agon Sadiku (85') scored for FC Honka.
It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that Helsinki IFK have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Helsinki IFK have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 10 goals during that time.
Their past results show that Helsinki IFK:
- haven't been beaten by VPS Vaasa when playing them at home in the last 2 matches in the league.
- are without a win at home for the past 8 matches in the league. Such a poor run.
