Inter Turku take on the visitors Honka in the round 16 match of Finish Veikkausliiga. The match will be played on Monday, July 25th at Veritas Stadion (Turku).
Inter Turku have never repeated its 2008 success in nearly a decade and a half. That championship remains the only one. They managed to take silver four times, including in 2019-2020. But now the "black and blue" are even further behind. Even in the last draw, it was clear that HJK and KuPS are now the strongest in the Veikkausliiga. The rest of the teams are battling only for the 3rd place, and in the 2021 season, Inter lost this battle. Moreover, in the regular draw, the club was stronger than SJK, but played the decisive rounds worse. However, the club from Turku still went to European competition. But they did not stay there: having minimally won against Drita at home, the Finns failed in Kosovo, conceding 3 unanswered goals. Now it remains to focus on the fight in the championship. There, the wards of Jose Riveiro are holding on even worse than even last year. The defeat of "Haque" was already the 6th in 14 matches, and it sent them to the bottom of the table.

Honka have been good about 10 years ago, at the beginning of the last decade. Then all the trophies in history were taken, and this is 65 years. The Black and Yellows won the League Cup in 2010 and 2011. In the next draw, the Finnish Cup was also taken. Also in 2008, 2009 and 2013 they took the maximum results in the Veikkausliga - 2nd place. Periodically, there were relative successes in subsequent years, up to the “bronze” in 2019. But last season almost ended with relegation - Honka finished the draw in 9th place. And now it is possible to significantly add. Yes, Libra Vasara's wards, like everyone else, cannot challenge HJK with KuPS. But they may well climb back to 3rd place. The team won the lion's share of their matches and confidently broke away from all other pursuers. And in the last round, it turned out to defeat of Lahti with a score of 5-0.
For three times in a row, Inter cannot beat Honka in head-to-heads. First there was a draw in Turku, and then, twice in a row, the "black and yellow" won. True, both times they played at the same time at home. Bookmakers admit that Honka will be able to win the meeting again. But, based on how the clubs have played recently, it is worth stopping at the option with a bet on “both teams can score”.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
