HIFK Preview – Can HIFK win back-to-back?
A 1-0 win on the road away at Honka ended HIFK’s dismal three-match losing streak in the Veikkausliiga and was good timing as they now play host to the early Finnish top flight league leaders, HJK, at their Bolt Arena on Thursday evening.
Recent losses to Inter Turku, Haka and TPS had threatened HIFK’s plans for a possible top six finish in the Veikkausliiga but they’ll be hoping that their recent win against Honka will steady the ship.
However, HIFK have lost three of their first five matches at home so far this season with defeats to KuPS, Lahti and Haka and although they’ve also picked up wins over SJK and TPS, these were against teams that currently sit in the bottom four of the Finnish top flight, while the hosts have a wretched record against HJK as they’ve lost six of the previous seven encounters.
HJK Preview – Can HJK extend lead at top?
As] mentioned earlier, HJK Helsinki currently sit top of the Veikkausliiga and enjoy a four-point cushion ahead of 2nd placed Inter Turku prior to this upcoming clash against HIFK, but this lead could extend to seven points with a win at the Bolt Arena.
HJK will be in confident mood too as the visitors will bring a 10-match unbeaten sequence into this encounter which also includes winning their last four league matches on the trot with victories over Haka, RoPS, SJK and Mariehamn, scoring a total of 13 goals in the process and conceding just 2 in reply.
The visitors have also won five of their first six matches on their travels too, so they’ll be confident that they can continue their winning streak at HIFK on Thursday night as they look to pull clear at the top of the Veikkausliiga.
