Due to a mostly available squad, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the IF Gnistan boss Jussi Leppälahti to contend with. Marcelo Costa (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.
💡 Prediction
We’re of the view that HJK are likely to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
However, IF Gnistan won’t find it easy to score themselves but we can see them being dangerous at times, too.
We’re predicting a controlled 3-1 victory for HJK when all’s said and done.
