A Helsinki area derby, played on neutral ground at Vantaa. It is all good for Honka, as there is an artificial pitch which suites them better than their own bumpy natural grass!

Honka have surprised me a bit this season, but finally they are a decent team again and fight for European places.

The only slight disappointment in April was drawing away at Mariehamn, but it is a difficult place to travel to and can be excused. Since then Honka have beaten SJK and Lahti by this handicap, both of those teams are significantly better than HIFK today.

HIFK won their last cup match by 10 goals, but do not let the result fool you, the opponent is not a team as such, more like a bunch of friends who want to continue their hobby together.

Against league clubs it has been tougher, and they definitely would had deserved to lose also v Mariehamn.

As mentioned several times earlier HIFK have problems on and off the pitch, generally they are laughed at. First they signed a joyrneyman for a coach, and guess what? He got fired after 3 months but destroyed completely the preseason training. The players are not fit.

Another problem is the financial situation and stubborn sports director, HIFK have signed in poor players, most of them are not league class even when fit.

There is a new coach now for some time, Mixu Paatelainen who is another laughing stock, he is very straight-forwards 3-5-2 coach without any other tools than hard work.

Some of the new signings seem good on paper, but on the pitch they have been weakest players in all games and I see no reason for that to change any time soon, keeper Beto is the only one who can be mentioned positively so far. Without him the results would be simply horrible.

A cup match this is, there is no drama in the injury front in either team, and to put it simply if we base our fact on the things we have seen on the pitch there is no question what side to choose from this handicap.

3-0

赫尔辛基地区德比，在中立场地万塔进行。这对Honka来说都是好事，因为有人造球场，比他们自己崎岖不平的天然草地更适合他们!

洪卡这个赛季让我有点惊讶，但他们最终还是成为了一支像样的球队，为欧洲席位而战。

4月份唯一的一点小失望是客场对阵玛丽厄姆，但这是一个很难去的地方，可以原谅。从那时起，Honka就以这一劣势击败了SJK和Lahti，这两支球队今天都比HIFK强得多。

HIFK在上一场杯赛中以10球的优势获胜，但不要让结果欺骗你，对手并不是一支球队，更像是一群想要一起继续自己爱好的朋友。

对阵联赛俱乐部就更困难了，他们对玛丽厄姆的失利也是理所应当的。

正如之前多次提到的，HIFK在球场内外都有问题，通常他们都被嘲笑。他们先是雇了个司机做教练，你猜怎么着?他在3个月后被解雇，但却完全破坏了季前赛的训练。队员们身体不好。

另一个问题是财政状况和固执的体育主管，HIFK签下了贫穷的球员，他们中的大多数即使在健康的时候也不是联盟级别的。

现在有一个新教练已经有一段时间了，米苏-帕特莱宁，他是另一个笑柄，他是一个非常直率的3-5-2教练，除了刻苦训练，没有其他任何工具。

一些新签入的球员表面上看起来不错，但在球场上他们是所有比赛中最弱的球员，我认为没有理由在短期内改变，门将贝托是目前唯一一个被提到的积极的人。没有他，结果会很可怕。

这是一场杯赛，两支球队在伤病方面都没有什么戏剧性的事情，简单地说，如果我们基于我们在球场上看到的事实，那么在这个障碍中选择哪支球队是毫无疑问的。
