New season, new opportunities: Here's what you need to know before the HJK - Honka match!

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Honka have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 10-4-4 (win-draw-loss) from 18 matches.
