Finland Cup: Buckle up for the Lahti - HJK clash

National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Lahti or HJK that keep their silverware dream alive.

Best bookmaker betting odds:

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting HJK have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-3-7 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.

HJK form and stats

Nothing but glory last season for HJK, as they won the Finland Cup.

HJK's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed HJK collect 25 points from their 11 away matches in the Veikkausliiga. 8 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats). HJK has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

HJK played 1-1 against Inter Turku in their previous match. Prior to that result HJK won their away game at Mariehamn in the Veikkausliiga. The scoreline was 5-0.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset.
