Helsinki will be aiming to put an end to their three-game winless run when they take on Larne in the Champions League 1st qualifying round, first leg. HJK have been struggling in front of goal of late, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat Larne on home soil. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Wednesday’s encounter.
The Northern Ireland champions, on the other hand, have yet to kick off the new domestic campaign. Larne rolled over Ballyclare in their last warm-up game, but we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Helsinki’s party at Bolt Arena. Taking everything into account, we predict that the Finns are going to win the first leg. The two teams meet for the first time ever in the qualifiers for the elite competition.
