HJK vs SJK tips and predictions

HJK looking hard to beat

It's first placed HJK hosting fifth placed SJK in this Veikkausliiga clash as the home team looks to add to the 11 points that separate the sides.

You can get a big price on SJK because the home side will not be contemplating any notion of losing.

The hosts come into the match with 12 wins in their last 15 games.

This home side is in a purple patch. HJK have scored two or more goals in 16 of their recent 18 home matches and their performances in defence have also paid dividends. They have only conceded an average of 0.6 goals in their last 20 games. This clash offers another opportunity for them to keep a clean sheet.

The vultures could soon be circling over the SJK net.

The visitors have ballooned some of their recent chances. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 5 away matches. The stats present a pretty ugly scenario for the travelling team; they need to do more with their chances.

HJK have won 10 of the last 12 fixtures between these sides previously. This looks like a good opportunity for them to add to these head-to-head statistics. And it is unlikely they will fail to do just that.

HJK are decent favourites and it's possible they just don't give anything away. It's not a strong view so it isn't one to get stuck into but the No BTTS bet is the only option in that market that has any signs of value. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Over 3.5 Goals that stands out here given these prices.
