Helsinki will try to overcome a three-goal deficit in the tie with FK Panevezys when the two teams go head to head at Bolt Arena in the second leg. HJK need a big win in the reverse fixture and they have no other option but to go all guns blazing at the Lithuanian champions. As Helsinki were not in action in the Veikkausliiga at the weekend, tired legs are not going to be a big problem for the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in Toni Korkeakunnas’ team.
The visitors, on the other hand, surprisingly crushed HJK 3-0 in front of home fans, but they should be warned against complacency. As experienced forward Cheikhou Dieng is banned for Tuesday’s clash, home win should be considered, but we do not believe that the hosts are capable of making it to the Champions League second qualifying round.
