  • HJK have the most scored goals (26) in Veikkausliiga
  • Mariehamn have the fewest scored goals (9) in Veikkausliiga

The hosts HJK saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Europa League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Neftçi, was also a home game here at Bolt Arena. The away team is better rested.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Mariehamn 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 5-3-7 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.

Mariehamn form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mariehamn so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose).

E. Tamminen was the last player to score for the away team. Mariehamn haven't scored a league goal in the last 220 minutes.

There might be some fixture complaints from Mariehamn as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Veikkausliiga match against Oulu (0-1).

A 0-2 loss hosting Inter Turku before that.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Mariehamn as the away team, we found three results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, zero draws and three defeats. The outsiders lost two of these games by at least two goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mariehamn as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. Mariehamn have conceded 11 goals in these games.
