📊 Form Guide

HJK
LLWDWW
HJK, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 4-1 Veikkausliiga victory against KTP.
For HJK, the goals were scored by Alex Ring (7'), Teemu Pukki (66'), Santeri Hostikka (70') and Giorgos Kanellopoulos (91'). Armaan Wilson (34') scored for KTP.
It’s not been often in recent games where HJK have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that HJK have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 5 goals on the way. With no two games being the same, we must now wait to see if the trend shall be sustained here in this match.
Leading up to this clash, HJK:
- haven't beaten SJK in their last 2 league matches.
- are unbeaten in their last 2 league matches at home.
SJK
WWDLLD ⚖
In their previous fixture, SJK drew 2-2 in the Veikkausliiga tie with IF Gnistan.
The only scorer from SJK was Samuel Chukwudi (25', 72'). Vertti Hänninen (14') and Roman Eremenko (60') scored for IF Gnistan.
Demonstrating their appetite for action-packed encounters, goals have been scored 21 times in the last six games in which SJK have played, yielding an average of 3.5 goals for each meeting. Opposition teams have hit 10 of this grand total.
Looking at their past form shows that SJK:
- haven't beaten HJK when they have played them away from home in the previous 5 league matches. Not the best of away records.
- are without an away win for the past 2 league games.
🤜🤛 Head to head
An examination of their prior head-to-head meetings stretching back to 29/07/2023 shows us that HJK have won 3 of these & SJK 1, with the number of draws being 2.
There were also goals galore in those games, with 24 in total which averages out at 4 goals per match.
The last league meeting featuring these sides was Veikkausliiga match day 2 on 11/04/2025 when it ended SJK 1-0 HJK.
The referee was Peiman Simani.
✨ Prediction
In this game, SJK are certainly able to put a goal past this HJK side, but it is unlikely to be as many as they’ll concede.
We reckon that it will be a 2-1 winning margin for HJK at the end of this one.
