Prediction: 1-1
Malmo
All eyes will be on Bolt Arena when Helsinki and Malmo face each other in the Champions League second qualifying round, return leg. Malmo aim to defend their slim lead in Tuesday’s clash, but boss Jon Dahl Tomasson must warn his men against complacency. Experienced attacker Ola Toivonen remains in the recovery room, but both Bonke and Rakip return from domestic bans.
A man to watch in the away team will be Croatia international Antonio-Mirko Colak, who was rested in a 2-0 win over Mjallby at the weekend. Helsinki have no other choice but to go all guns blazing at the Blues, and given Malmo’s attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Top scorer Roope Riski is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts in the return leg. HJK head coach Toni Koskela should stick to the 4-3-3 formation.
