Honka are the surprise of the season and they are still in title hopes. The team is mixed with experienced and very young players. Abdoulaye Meite and Ruben Palazuelos are part of very experienced players who played in British Top Division clubs. There is no surprise that 8 players of Honka squad played against England in last match between two clubs. Honka are playing their home matches at Tapiolan Urheilupuisto in Espoo, stadium with artificial grass who gives advantage for their home games. They have 10 wins and 1 draw in their 12 home games this season, best in the league. Honka have 8 wins in a row in matches against RoPS in the league. Kevin Kastrati will miss the match for the home team.
RoPS Rovaniemi are already out of the relegation battle and feel comfortable in mid-table. RoPS are without ex-Honka trio - Maannoja (goalkeeper of the team), Otaru (defensive midfielder) and Kokko (top striker of the club). RoPS have just 10 points from their away matches and I believe they will continue their bad streak. It is clear that RoPS will have a new manger for the next season and the manger Kari Virtanen will not be so motivated.
I see a big value in this win for Honka as they are among title pretendents and are playing against opponents without enough quality.
