Honka vs HJK Helsinki Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

HJK win at 6/4 – ★★☆

HJK to win 2-1 at 9/1 – ★☆☆

• The only side to defeat Honka at home this season was HJK.
• HJK are unbeaten in all but one of their away league games this season.
• HJK’s last two victories in this fixture settled with a single-goal margin.

The break isn’t quite Finnish yet

With the international break winding down, we head over to Finland for the slim pickings of Thursday games as title hopefuls HJK travel to Honka on the back of an impressive five-game winning run of league games.

HJK have already defeated Honka twice this season and appear set to do so again to continue their unstoppable charge towards the title. However, both of HJK’s H2H victories this season saw a single-goal margin and we can see this one being similarly tight considering the only side Honka have lost against at home was HJK.

Comfortably the strongest away side in the division (W7, D3, L1), HJK enter this clash in supreme confidence and having scored at least twice in three of their last four league trips, we expect them to arrive at Tapiolan Urheilupuisto in similarly prolific form.

Sticking with the visitors

The market is fairly evenly split between these two big hitters of the Finnish league, though we are sticking with HJK to strengthen their stranglehold on the title race with a hard-fought victory over Honka.

Such a result will see visiting manager Toni Koskela improve upon his return of ten unbeaten games from 14 encounters with opposite number Vesa Vasara, who in turn has won just five of his previous 18 encounters with HJK.

As for the correct score, we’re sticking with a similarly tight final score as in each of the last two H2Hs with a small stakes selection going the way of a 2-1 away win.
