HJK Preview – Can HJK take over at top?
HJK sit level on points with KuPS at the top of the Veikkausliiga but the hosts will be looking to overhaul their early title rivals with a win over Lahti at the Bolt Arena on Tuesday afternoon, and having won three of their last four games, HJK look set for further success here.
Recent victories over HIFK, Inter Turku and Ilves have helped maintain HJK’s successful start to this new Finnish top flight season while the hosts have lost just once in their last 12 matches overall; however, HJK have won by a 2-goal margin in just one of their last 16 matches which gives Lahti a chance of keeping the scores close here.
Lahti Preview – Can Lahti achieve damage control?
Lahti occupy 8th place in the Veikkausliiga table but the visitors find themselves just one point behind the top six pack in the division thanks to holding Tuesday’s upcoming opponents, HJK, to a 1-1 draw on home soil at their Lahden Stadion.
It’s been a mixed bag of results to date for Lahti who have slipped to three defeats already but wins against HIFK and SJK, both away from home, will give Lahti confidence that they can give HJK a run for their money here.
