HJK have been very impressive during the first two outings against VPS and KuPS. Now to be fair, these opponents weren’t the toughest possible, but it sure trumps Mariehamn’s shaky come from behind victory over JJK. Defensively HJK are exceptional, and I believe they’ll likely win to nil here. But I’ll stay relatively safe and stick with the straight win, available at 1.75 at both Unibet and Pinnacle, but I’d take it down to 1.65 here. They are just that good.
Mariehamn are a top 3 side, but I don’t see them retaining their title, and HJK could potentially go undefeated this year. It’ll be a fun match, which will tell us a whole lot about how the league will develop. If HJK show themselves to be as strong as I believe they are against quality opponent, this could be one hell of a ride.
