In this week 6 match on May 7th, Honka will host Inter Turku at Tapiolan Urheilupuisto in a meeting of these two evenly matched Veikkausliiga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 17 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 3rd placed Honka is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Lahti. Jerry Voutilainen struck first for Honka in the 69th minute, then Arko-Mensah added another in the 73rd minute In the end, Lahti was frustrated by Honka’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Honka ended the match with the shutout victory. Honka is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 4th placed Inter Turku, recorded a 0-1 loss against HJK. Bojan Radulovic Samoukovic scored the first goal for HJK in the 42nd minute on a penalty, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Inter Turku couldn’t manage to score, and HJK took the shutout win. Inter Turku is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Inter Turku won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Inter Turku is fortunate enough to have Benjamin Källman in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored 4 goals. Jerry Voutilainen has been the most prolific scorer on Honka in the last 5 matches with 3 goals.
