Veikkausliiga: Inter Turku vs Haka

Inter Turku scored first away to Mariehamn, but defeated finally with a score of 2-1. They made two serious defensive errors that were exploited by home team forwards, which scored twice in the last quarter and reversed the score. Generally, the reports writing for a really average match, qualitatively, as both teams played very carefully. The negative result threw Inter Turku from the first place of the league standings, but they know that the following program is favorable with four home games to the next five games. They only need to show their superiority against weakest teams and win those games. Defender Ville Nikkari (8 games played) and midfielder Joni Kauko (5 games played, 2 goals scored) are doubtful. No further problems for Inter Turku.

Haka coming from a heavy defeat away to Kuopio with the score of 3-0. They were not threatening at all to the opposing field, and the synthetic grass gave the home side a good advantage, as Kuopio played aggressively and controlled the game. With just two wins in eight games, Haka is already at bottom places to the league standings. As time passes, it is obvious that there is a big defensive problem to their roster. Their defenders are young and mostly inexperienced, forcing lot of mistakes to every game. Irish midfielder McFaul (7 games played) has a neck problem and will return next month, while defenders Antti Ojanpera (7 games played), Jarno Mattila (4 games played) and Sami Sanevuori (8 games played) are all doubtful.

Haka defence will be tested today against the best offensive trio in the league (Lehtonen, Sirbiladze, Ojala), and they will have a difficult afternoon.
