HIFK vs HJK
Finland – Veikkausliiga
Date: Wednesday, 30 June 2021
Kick-off at 16:30 UK/ 17:30 CET
Venue: Bolt Arena.
HJK are the defending champions, and by the looks of things, they are on course to repeat the feat once again. HIFK are inconsistent – especially so at home, and have a poor h2h record against this rival. Likely, expect a win from HJK this Wednesday at the Bolt Arena.
The title-holders had remained unbeaten in all but two games the last season, and had scored a total of 53 goals in the process. Note that none of the remaining squads had even breached the 40-goal mark.
Do also take into account the fact that they had conceded the least number of goals in the Finnish top flight.
At present, they have once again raced to the top of the table, and have scored the most number of goals, as well as have conceded the least.
By all means the inconsistent HIFK are about to have a tough outing.
HIFK were winless in four of their last seven overall games, and they have won just four times at home since September of 2020.
On the other hand, their counterparts are on an eight-match winning streak, and they are on an unbeaten run on the road since September of 2020. Note that they had also scored two or more goals in seven of their past away games.
Finally, HIFK also have a poor h2h record against this rival over the years, and have conceded in plenty in the process.
Considering these stats, expect a win from reigning champions HJK this Wednesday.
