HJK vs Mariehamn tips and predictions

HJK short-price means it's all over bar the shouting?

On 3 points, sixth placed HJK host third placed Mariehamn. The visitors aren't far ahead with 4 points.

Don't get it twisted, HJK are certainly expected to cruise to victory but it doesn't feel like a smart move to take those short odds.

HJK haven't been reliable from a betting point of view. They've lost 8 of their last 13 matches. They'll need to be wary of any lapses in concentration. Giving away an average of 2.2 goals across their latest 13 games has given them plenty to think about.

Mariehamn have actually won 2 of their last 3 trips away. They've only conceded 2 times during their latest 6 away games so that might also prove significant. While most people think they'll need a miracle, the visitors might just do the impossible here. Most of their good results have been helped by their strength in the final third. They've scored 3.3 goals on average over their last 3 games. Their strikers will have to put in a mind-blowing performance to get something from the game.

There's a low confidence backup bet in the Both Teams To Score market with the No option.
