HJK Preview – Can HJK keep rolling?
HJK have made an impressive start to the new Finnish top flight season by putting together a five-match unbeaten start, winning four of these matches which has placed HJK top of the Veikkausliiga with a one-point cushion over 2nd placed Inter Turku.
Victories over Honka, Ilves, Lahti and SJK have seen HJK score 11 goals and concede just 2 in reply while the bigger picture shows that HJK are unbeaten in their last 13 matches overall in the Veikkausliiga and the hosts have also won six of their last eight games at home too.
In addition, HJK have won the last two meetings at home on the trot against Oulu, 4-0 and 2-0 respectively so they’ll be confident that they can grab the points here.
Oulu Preview – Can Oulu get off the mark?
Oulu are only four matches into this Veikkausliiga campaign but already the visitors find themselves in trouble at the foot of the table and they’ve also failed to pick up any points as well, having lost each of their opening four matches.
Defeats to Ilves, Mariehamn, SJK and HIFK certainly do not bode well for this upcoming trip to face the early league leaders, HJK, and the newly promoted side from the Ykkonen will be bracing themselves for this encounter.
It’s been 11 years since Oulu were last in the Finnish top flight but the early signs aren’t looking good for the visitors in terms of retaining their Veikkausliiga status this season.
