Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
HJK will try to make a historical comeback and eliminate NSI Runavik in the Europa Conference League first qualifying round when the two teams face each other at Bolt Arena on Thursday. Helsinki suffered a 4-0 loss to NSI Runavik in the first leg, meaning that they need a big win in the reverse fixture to overcome the deficit. The hosts, though, will have to do it without suspended midfielder Jere Kallinen, who was sent-off in the first leg.
Jens Wedeborg’s troops, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in all competitions. NSI Runavik have been scoring goals for fun of late and with HJK expected to adopt an attack-minded approach in Thursday’s clash, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Finland.
