Our prediction for this Finland Veikkausliiga match:
Gnistan and HJK face each other at Mustapekka Arena in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Wednesday’s program. Gnistan have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Lahti, losing to Ekenas, while sharing the spoils with Mariehamn and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the midweek clash as well.
The title holders, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 4-1 win over SJK, with substitute Luke Plange scoring a hat-trick. The 21-year-old England forward is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Michael Boamah should miss out with injury. You should bear in mind that HJK emerged triumphant in each of the previous four meetings with Gnistan in all competitions. In their last meeting in the Finnish top flight HJK defeated Gnistan thanks to Lucas Lingman’s goal.
