Finland Mestis Hockey - Hokki v HeKi

Finnish Mestis match between two teams who have similar names, Hokki Kajaani and HeKi Heinola. Hokki currently lies on 3rd place on table with only two points less then leader KooKoo, but one game played more. They've lost only one match so far, at home, against Sport Vaasa, team that will push for title (only team that beaten leading KooKoo)... Problem with Hokki is that they are overperforming, they won't be able to keep pace and they usually end games in OT (precisely half of games played). Still, they've managed to beat Titaanit, LeKi and SapKo in regular time, and HeKi is currently on their level of performance. Hokki will today miss Lassi Kokkala (2g+3a).

HeKi played six games, two less then Hokki, but they managed to win only twice. Against Kiekko-Vantaa in opening match of the season, and against SapKo in third round. Since then they've lost to Jukurit, KooKoo and D Team Jyvaskyla, with this last loss being very painful as D Team is worst team in league along with SapKo. HeKi keeps one of the best defensive records in league, but their efficiency isn't on the same level. Also, today they will miss number of players, players that can score, namely Teemu Rinkinen (3g+3a), Ville Kiiskinen (1g+1a) and Adam Meyer (1g+1a). This three players scored five of HeKi's twenty goals and will be missed. As a substitute HeKi loaned Janne Tavi from Pelicans and between the pipes is expected Timo Vaisanen (3,50 GAA, 90,27% SVS) who was on the goal for HeKi only twice this season.

Hokki home advantage, better form, and almost no missings should be enough to win against HeKi in regular time. Hokki is most efficient team in league, and if they keep their form today they should be able to deliver three-four, while HeKi most likely won't score more then two. Bwin offer of 1.85 is much higher then average, but i recommend to take it even if you find 1.75 (like at Bet-at-home).
