Inter Turku vs Haka prediction 26.05.2023

• Competition: Veikkausliiga
• Date: 26th May 2023
• Time: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CEST
• Venue: Veritas Stadion (Turku)

At the beginning of the new season, Inter Turku has not been showing the game according to its ambitions. After 5 played games, they won only 4 points. Inter opened the season with a 2:1 victory on the road against KuPS, but then three unpleasant defeats followed against Ilves, SJK, and HJK. They caused another disappointment in the last match when they played only 1:1 against the underdogs Mariehamn. Even in that match, they were very close to another defeat, but the striker and best individual Darren Smith saved them at the end of the match with his third goal of the season. But the question is in which direction this game would have gone if the home team had scored a penalty in the first half that was missed by the young Matias Tamminen.

Unlike Inter, Haka has already played 8 games, but they can't boast of a great start either. Only two wins and 9 points won is not enough for the team that won the 4th position last season and which is expected to qualify for the Conference League in less than two months. They also drew 2:2 against VPS in their last match, and it is interesting that all 4 goals were scored in the first half.

Inter Turku vs Haka pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

It is difficult to predict the winner of this match because both teams are playing below expectations at the beginning of the new season, but it is to be expected that they will improve their form as the season progresses. What is symptomatic of both sides is that their defenses are very poor and unreliable and that they have to score points with a better attack. That's why BTTS stands out as the most logical choice. The advantage of Inter Turku in this match is the home field, but in principle, Haka is a better team, so it is realistic that we will see at least one goal in the nets of both teams.
