IFK Mariehamn will be looking for a repeat result of the 0-1 Veikkausliiga triumph vs AC Oulu.
The only name on the scoresheet from IFK Mariehamn was Sebastian Dahlström (56').
It has been all too rare in recent games where IFK Mariehamn haven’t conceded. The facts show that IFK Mariehamn have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 12 goals on the way. That trend might not follow through into this game, though.
Their prior results show that IFK Mariehamn:
- have left without a victory over HJK in their previous 5 league games.
- are unbeaten in their previous 2 home league matches.

Team News: IFK Mariehamn
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the IFK Mariehamn gaffer Gary Williams to be concerned with from a near full-strength group. Patrik Raitanen (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention.
💭
Prediction
We believe that IFK Mariehamn are certainly able to find the back of the net against this HJK lineup, but a single goal probably shouldn’t be enough to give them the result that they want.
We’re therefore expecting a very close game with a 1-2 victory for HJK when the referee blows the final whistle. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
