Bolt Arena will host Thursday’s UEFA Conference League second qualifying round first-leg clash between HJK and Coleraine. The Finnish giants are enjoying a solid domestic campaign and will be looking to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over VPS. HJK have been in excellent form of late, winning seven of their last 10 matches while averaging an impressive 3.5 goals per game. Their attacking displays have made them one of the most entertaining teams in Finland, with their last 10 outings producing an average of five goals per match. Alfie Cicale picked up an injury at the weekend, meaning Toivo Mero is likely to deputise, but the hosts still head into the clash as clear favourites.
Coleraine, meanwhile, arrive in Helsinki on the back of a perfect preseason, winning five matches in a row, but competitive European football represents a much tougher challenge. Joel Cooper will once again be the player to watch after impressing during the warm-up fixtures, while the visitors have scored 2.8 goals per game across their last 10 matches. Even so, facing an in-form HJK side away from home is likely to prove a step too far.
HJK are in the middle of their season and possess far more European experience. Therefore, our main prediction leans toward Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (HJK's matches average 5.0 goals, while both teams boast strong attacking records).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 17:00.
