MIFK:3-1-3-1-1-1
H2H: 6-3-2. League 23.04.2009 MIFK – Honka 2-2
Honka played against Bangor City in the Europe League ql-game, and took an easy 2-0 victory at home after missing some 20 good goal chances. ”It was a good game for us, but we really had deserved a few more goals. It was a good warm-up before the game ahead of IFK Mariehamn, which plays similar very organized 4-4-2 football with Bangor, only on a far better level, ” says Honka coach Mika Lehkosuo.
”IFK is very good in the air and also dangerous with set pieces with players like Tamas Gruburovics. Also their striker Arsim Gashi was an interesting and skillful player, ” continues Lehkosuo.
Honka have a run of 6 undefeated games in all competitions, but yet Lehkosuo is not completely satisfied, ” there are too many draws and also the level of or performance is not that steady and solid. There are too many funny mistakes and inconsistency.
The only players injured from Honka are long-term patients Paatelainen 0/0 and Weckström 6/1, Haarala 6/0 is doubtful. Also Tuomo Turunen is about to close a deal with IFK Göteborg is unlikely to feature in this game if the deal is on.
IFK Mariehamn have amazingly only lost once in the league, away at HJK, and have conceded only 7 goals in the 14 matches played which is an excellent record and tells a lot about their defense. Their goal-keeper Långback is doubful however, and also important defender Paulus Arajuuri has been negociating with Djurgården about a future trasfer. The only player missing for sure is striker Sasha Anttilainen 7/1.

The odds on Honka are not really that tempting if we think about the MIFK results and defense, but the truth is that IFK is not that good. Will talk about this later.
Honka odds are rising, and the closer -0.5 gets to 2.00 the better!
FT:1-1. An excellent game by finnish standards.
Honka was on the top, but IFK Mariehamn is a good team who is not going to lose that easily.
