HJK Preview – Can HJK extend unbeaten run?
HJK bring a five-match unbeaten run into this 2nd leg clash against Neftci Baku which includes last week’s 2-2 draw at Neftci in the 1st leg and the Finnish hosts will now be seeking to land the killer blow on home turf at their Bolt Arena on Thursday night.
The bigger picture shows that HJK have lost just two of their last 18 matches overall, one of which was a 2-1 loss away from home at Malmo in the Champions League, while form at home has also been impressive of late too.
HJK are unbeaten in their last eight matches at home overall, winning six of these games while goals have also flowed from the hosts as HJK have scored 2 goals or more in seven of these eight home matches as well.
Neftci Baku Preview – Can Neftci save European dream?
Although Neftci Baku made a positive start to their European journey in this season’s Champions League qualifiers, winning 4-2 on aggregate against Georgian outfit, Dinamo Tbilisi, in the elite competition, the visitors were quickly bundled out following a 2-0 loss on aggregate to Olympiakos.
Having failed to get the upper hand in last week’s 1st leg clash against HJK on home soil as they were held to a 2-2 draw, Neftci now look to have a tricky outing ahead of them to Finland this Thursday night.
Neftci have lost just one of their last nine Europa League ties away from home though which gives the visitors a chance in this 2nd leg.
