Today at 20:00 GMT, a match between HJK and SJK will take place within the Finnish Veikkausliiga.
HJK
HJK met Oulu away on 31 May and lost by the narrowest margin of 0-1. The only goal in the match was scored in the 35th minute by Oulu’s player Justen Rennicks. HJK couldn’t respond with a goal, and by the end of the match, the team found itself at a disadvantage due to a player’s expulsion. In the 80th minute, Danilo Tomas received a red card, complicating HJK’s task of turning the game around.
After this game, HJK is in the 5th place in the Veikkausliiga standings. Out of 11 matches, the team has won 4, lost 3, and drawn 4. At the moment, HJK has 16 points with a goal difference of 15 scored and 12 conceded. The current form of the team looks like this: 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses.
Oulu’s position in the table remains challenging - the team occupies the 10th place with 7 points after 9 matches played.
SJK lost to Mariehamn 0-2 on 31 May. In the 54th minute, Mariehamn's player Sem Dahlström opened the scoring, putting his team ahead. Four minutes later, Oscar Sallinen doubled the visitors' advantage, setting the final score. Despite the current defeat, SJK have shown commendable results in the 2024 season. Currently, the team is in 3rd place in the standings with 18 points after 10 matches. The team has 5 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses with a goal difference of 16 scored and 11 conceded.
Mariehamn is placed 7th in the standings, having accumulated 12 points from 9 matches. This gives them 3 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses. SJK's form over the last 5 matches looks like this: 2 wins and 1 draw.
In this match between two top-table teams, I am leaning towards a total goals under 2.5 bet. The visitors have seen 4 of their last 5 matches ending with just 1 goal each, while HJK has 2 goalless defeats in the last 3 rounds. Although their head-to-head encounters are generally high-scoring, given the current states of the teams, I do not expect a high number of goals in this game.
