Both Teams to Score

HIFK have scored in 100% of their Veikkausliiga home matches this season and they can maintain their excellent strike rate against neighbours HJK this week. The champions drew a blank at KuPS on the campaign’s opening weekend, though they have scored in all eight of their fixtures since and they will be tough to keep off the scoresheet again when they cross Helsinki on Wednesday,

Highest Scoring Half – Second

The majority of the action in HJK’s matches this season has taken place after the interval and 17 of the 26 goals scored in their fixtures this season were struck in the second half. In addition, seven of the nine goals registered in the last three derbies between HIFK and HJK were notched in the second period, so expect that pattern to continue in the teams’ latest skirmish.

HJK to Win and Both Teams to Score

Defending Veikkausliiga champions HJK have shown that they mean business again this season and their superb run of nine wins from ten matches has made them the Veikkausliiga’s early pace-setters in 2021. The league leaders could concede at local rivals HIFK this week, though they have the quality to eventually roar to victory at the Bolt Arena.

HIFK vs HJK: Match Preview

HIFK

January appointment Joaquín Gómez is still relatively new to the dugout at HIFK, though the Spanish coach will be pleased about his team’s solid start to the 2021 campaign. The Reds have tasted defeat just once in eight games so far, though it’s worth noting that their solitary loss came in a 4-1 thumping against second-placed Inter Turku.

HJK

Domestically dominant HJK are lining up their fourth Veikkausliiga title in five years in 2021 and their impressive total of 28 points from the first 30 available this term suggests they will have things all their own way again. Attacker Roope Riske nabbed his fourth goal of the campaign against KTP last week and the 29-year-old is well on his way to matching last season’s superb 16-goal haul.
