Lahti are practically guaranteed to finish 2nd from bottom, and to face play-offs against the runner-up from Ykkönen.

The only wise move in this situation is to concentrate fully on the upcoming play-offs, train, and rest the players who are not fully fit.

Being 2nd worst in the table reflects their performances well, they are just lucky that HIFK was also in this league this season as they deserved a drop.

How was the form before the break?

Not very good I dare to say, and in these matches there was still motivation to try to get out play-off zone.

VPS still have chances to fight for European spots in the play-offs, so they have not given up training, and they need to focus fully on the games at hand. Every match matters. Their last game was an important 2-3 away win at Ilves, before that there was a longer run of bad results due injuries, but those are largely won by now.

In short, I expect Lahti to be on a tough training season now as the playoffs are some weeks away, no key players are risked if not fully fit, and the bench is so weak that when those players are brought in there is very little hope of success. Key cb Pirttijoki is suspend, another CB Pasanen injured.

拉赫蒂几乎可以肯定排在倒数第二，他们将面对来自Ykkönen的亚军的附加赛。

在这种情况下，唯一明智的做法是把全部精力放在即将到来的附加赛上，训练，并让不完全健康的球员休息。

排在倒数第二的位置反映了他们的表现，他们只是很幸运，因为HIFK本赛季也在这个联赛中，他们应该下降。

休息前的状态如何?

我敢说不是很好，在这些比赛中，我们仍然有动力去尝试走出附加赛区。

副队仍然有机会在附加赛中争夺欧洲席位，所以他们没有放弃训练，他们需要完全专注于即将到来的比赛。每一场比赛很重要。他们的上一场比赛是客场2-3在伊尔维斯取胜，在那之前，由于伤病的原因，他们有过一段较长时间的糟糕战绩，但现在基本上已经赢了。

简而言之，我预计拉赫蒂现在的训练将会很艰难，因为季后赛还有几周的时间，没有关键球员在没有完全恢复的情况下冒险，而且替补阵容太弱了，当这些球员被引进时，成功的希望非常渺茫。主力中卫皮尔蒂约基停赛，另一名中卫帕萨宁受伤。
