Inter Turku take on the visitors Lahti in round 16 match of Finnish Viekkausliiga. The match will be played on Monday, July 8th at Veritas Stadion (Turku).
FC Inter Turku as evident from their name and chosen color combination, clearly draw inspiration from the renowned Italian football giant, Inter Milan. They even managed to become the Finnish champions once, albeit a long time ago in 2008. However, they did add a trophy to their cabinet this season by winning the League Cup. Despite this, in the context of the league, the club has remained at best a mid-table team. After finishing in 6th place in the 2023 season, they had a tough start this year with only one win in their first nine matches, suffering six losses, including five consecutive defeats. However, at the transition from spring to summer, they managed to win two matches in a row. Their 0-2 loss to Ilves was offset by a goalless draw away at Haka and a 3-1 home victory over VPS.

Lahti struggling to climb out of the bottom of the table. The "Black Drones," despite occasional success in the League Cup (winning it three times, including in 2016), haven't been highly regarded in Finnish football. Nevertheless, in the previous season, they managed to avoid significant relegation worries by securing a safe 10th place. Currently, a pair of teams have fallen behind the rest, and Lahti, alongside the newcomer Ekenäs, makes up this group. Yes, they did manage to thrash Mariehamn 3-0 at home in May, but that's their only victory so far. Against the backdrop of their overall poor performance, three consecutive draws—against Oulu away, and Gnistan and Ilves at home—are already seen as a sign of progress.
FC Inter Turku has won all four of their last encounters against Lahti. This year alone, they have defeated Lahti both in the cup and in the league. Facing a bottom-table team presents a great opportunity to secure a crucial victory, and the home team should be able to capitalize on this. We recommend betting on FC Inter Turku with a "-1 goal" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Inter Turku to win with -1.0 handicap.
