Due to a fully injury-free group to choose from, HJK manager Toni Koskela has no fitness concerns whatsoever before this clash.
We’ve got the feeling that KuPS could find themselves struggling to register a score against this HJK side who we think will likely score one, at least.
We’re therefore tipping a hard-fought 0-1 win for HJK at full-time.
We’re expecting it to be that close.
