Europa League betting and spectator preview: Roma and HJK meet at Stadio Olimpico to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

16 - 6 - 7 with 47-31. 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.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Roma and HJK.

Roma form and stats

Roma participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the semi-finals and lost against Manchester United.

Perfect Serie A season at home so far for Roma 2 wins from 2 appearances.

A strong away win for Roma against Empoli the last match, as Abraham and Dybala were on target. The gifted forward Dybala outshone all teammates in that game and managed a match rating of 7.92 out of 10. Dybala scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit three key passes and had 27 successful passes (of 31 total).

Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Ludogorets in the Europa League.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Atalanta are coming to town in three days.

At Stadio Olimpico, Roma has the goal stats of 4-0 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

HJK form and stats

Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the play-offs against Fenerbahce.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the Veikkausliiga. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 3W-1D-1L. This is both home and away.

HJK play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Honka. The end of the last match, against Honka, was very satisfying as Olusanya scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

The game before was the Europa League-duel against Real Betis, a home loss (0-2).

A new game in only three days for HJK, the Veikkausliiga home match versus SJK. Busy days.

HJK find the net regularly in their away games. 15 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. HJK are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 6 times in 11 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
