HJK and Roma get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa League Group Stage fixture.
Roma have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Roma could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie A game only four sleeps ago.
HJK form and stats
HJK participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the play-offs and lost against Fenerbahce.This match is a Europa League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in this competition.
HJK's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus KuPS.
Before that, a defeat in the away fixture against Ludogorets in the Europa League.
Roma form and stats
Roma's mission in Europa League last season failed in the semi-finals against Manchester United.Roma's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Roma collect 13 points from their 6 away matches in the Serie A. 4 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat). When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 1W-1D-2L. This is both home and away.
This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Napoli with 0-1 on the scoreboard.
Preceding that game was the away Serie A victory against Sampdoria with the score of 1-0.The schedule is very tough for Roma now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Hellas Verona is waiting in only four days.
Roma are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 6 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Roma have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
