The managers M. Lehkosuo and A. Eremenko are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Veikkausliiga league table.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Veikkausliiga. That game was an away game at VPS, so at least HJK are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

SJK form and stats

SJK are doing rather OK so far in their away games, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses). Visiting SJK has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

SJK has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Lahti for a Veikkausliiga game that ended a draw (1-1). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus KPV.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and SJK playing away, we found one game. Results were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 0 home wins.

SJK have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, 3 away games. 3 goals have been conceded by SJK in these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the SJK - HJK 0-0 played earlier this season. HJK-SJK H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: HJK 8 wins, SJK 0 wins, 2 draws. 4 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
