It's game one of two in the Champions League as HJK host Larne. This is a 1st Qualifying Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
1 - 2 - 2 with 4-4. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Larne when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Larne play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
It's quite the trip for Larne when visiting HJK as the cities are 3400 kilometers apart.
HJK have less rest than Larne in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Veikkausliiga game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Lahti, was also a home game here at Bolt Arena. The away team is better rested.
