Maribor host the first leg in this deciding Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round game. HJK will try their very best to bring a solid result back to Telia 5G-Areena before the return leg in 10 days.
13 - 5 - 7 with 41-29. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for HJK when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. HJK play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
These teams have little in common geographically as HJK have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
These are busy days for the home side, as they had a match only four days ago in the 1. SNL. That game was an away game at Koper, so at least Maribor are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Maribor form and stats
Maribor was eliminated in the 1st qualifying round last season in the Europa League.Only two 1. SNL home games for Maribor so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Maribor faced defeat in their previous match, away at Koper (1-2).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Olimpija are coming to town in three days.
At Ljudski vrt, Maribor has the goal stats of 3-5 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
HJK form and stats
HJK's mission in Europa League last season failed in the play-offs against Fenerbahce.The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the Veikkausliiga.
HJK go into this game after a win, the home game against Mariehamn that ended 1-0.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 4 similar matches played by HJK in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for HJK, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
The schedule is very tough for HJK now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Veikkausliiga game at Oulu is waiting in only three days.
HJK have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 9 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on HJK as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
