Competition: Finland Veikkausliiga
Competition: Thu 22.October
Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: Wiklöf Holding Arena (4000 seats)

The visiting HJK side should be favourites in this visit to Mariehamn, as the away team holds a 24 point advantage from their 20 league games this season.

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 Mariehamn and HJK.

9-4-7 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for HJK when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 20 matches are 27-26 (scored/conceded).

Mariehamn form and stats

Overall Veikkausliiga stats at home this season for Mariehamn are 3-3-4 (wins-draw-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Mariehamn with their five defeats in a row. Not since the HIFK game, 33 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at Wiklöf Holding Arena have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Mariehamn as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

The Mariehamn crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-3 to SJK here at Wiklöf Holding Arena in a Veikkausliiga match. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Honka.

The Mariehamn fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. Mariehamn's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

HJK form and stats

HJK's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed HJK, who have the most scored goals (47) in Veikkausliiga, collect 22 points from their 10 away matches in the Veikkausliiga. 7 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats).

F. Hasani, Roope Riski and T. Väyrynen scored in HJK's previous match, the home game against HIFK that ended 3-0. Preceding that game was the away victory against SJK with the score of 2-1.

As mentioned earlier, HJK will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in two wins (zero by two or more goals winning margin), zero draws and zero surprising defeats.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, HJK are regular goalscorers on their travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far).

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the HJK - Mariehamn 6-1 played earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - one - eight (Mariehamn wins - draws - HJK wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
