HJK Preview – Can HJK keep rolling?
Having won seven of their opening eight matches of this new Finnish top flight season, Friday’s hosts, HJK, sit four points clear at the top of the Veikkausliiga and will be in supremely confident mood ahead of this clash against Ilves.
This impressive sequence of results include HJK winning their last six matches on the trot which has seen the hosts score a total of 13 goals and conceding just 2 goals in reply, so they look well set to grab another three points here.
The bigger picture shows that HJK are now unbeaten in their last 16 matches overall in the Veikkausliiga, winning 12 of these games while previous history against Ilves is on HJK’s side as the hosts have won the last four meetings on the trot.
Ilves Preview – Can Ilves avoid third defeat on trot?
Recent back-to-back defeats against Lahti 3-1 and SJK 1-0 have seen Ilves drop down to 7th place in the Veikkausliiga and the fact that both of these losses were incurred away from home doesn’t bode well for the visitors Ilves here in this upcoming clash.
Ilves have managed to win just two of their last six matches overall in the Finnish top flight which came in the form of victories over KuPS and KTP in 3-2 and 2-0 wins respectively but both of these wins were achieved on home turf at their Ratinan Stadion.
On the road, Ilves have won just five of their last 14 matches on their travels and they’ve found themselves coming off second-best in recent exchanges against HJK as well.
