Inver Park will host the second leg of the Conference League second qualifying round as Coleraine and HJK face each other in a match with little left to play for after the Finnish side cruised to a commanding 5-0 victory in the first leg. Despite the heavy defeat, Coleraine will be determined to restore some pride in front of their home supporters. The Northern Irish outfit have been in excellent form domestically, winning seven of their last ten matches in all competitions, while averaging an impressive 2.7 goals per game. Defender Aidan Wilson is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock in the first meeting.
HJK, meanwhile, travel to Northern Ireland with one foot firmly in the third qualifying round. The visitors have been in fine form themselves, winning seven of their last ten matches and averaging 2.9 goals per game over that period. Boss Joonas Rantanen is expected to recall experienced striker Teemu Pukki to the starting XI after the former Finland international scored a brace in the first leg. Even if some rotation is expected with such a comfortable aggregate lead, HJK possess enough quality to trouble the Coleraine defence once again and should be able to avoid defeat.
Holding a five-goal aggregate advantage, the visitors have enough experience and quality to comfortably see the tie through. Therefore, Away Win seem like the best betting option for this matchup, alongside HJK Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches of late, with Coleraine averaging 4.2 total goals and HJK 4.3 across their last ten outings).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 30 July 2026 at 19:45.
