HJK vs Plzen PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 20/07/2022

Bolt Arena will host Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier between Helsinki and Plzen. HJK desperately needed a win against VPS, and they managed to get one (3-1), with the team putting an end to their four-match winless run in the Finnish top flight. Toni Koskela’s troops aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but they face an uphill task in the Champions League encounter with Plzen. Midfielder Pyry Soiri, who suffered an injury in the triumph over Riga, is unlikely to feature in the first leg.

Plzen, on the other hand, were having their ups and downs in pre-season, with the team beating both Taborsko and Slovan Bratislava, sharing the spoils with Botosani and Besiktas, while losing to St. Truiden. Since the Czechs have yet to kick off the new domestic campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Mick van Buren is back from his loan spell with Budejovice, while HJK defenders should have Ondrej Lingr at bay as the 24-year-old forward scored 14 goals in the national championship last term.
