Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this game will be the existence of a few goals. We believe that this game is quite balanced and with few chances of goal, because the two formations put few men in the front when they leave for the attack, favoring in this way the most backward sector. In spite of this the home team needs to revert a less positive result, however, it faces a strong team defensively, making betting in favor of a game with few goals is of great value.

Preview
HJK and Olimpija face at Sonera Stadium, in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Europa League (3rd Qualifying Round), after the (3‑0) home win by Olimpija in the 1st leg match. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Olimpija presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis HJK

After the away loss in the 1st leg, the home team comes to this match with the hard task of having to recover from a 3 goals disadvantage and haven't scored any away goals in the first match. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches HJK has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

HJK comes for this game unmotivated as a result of 3-0 heavy defeat against Olimpija, in a game to count for the first leg of the Europa League third round. Due to this loss, the Finns are in a very uncomfortable position in this competition. In this home game, coach Mika Lehkosuo is expected to play in 4-2-3-1 privileging ball possession and the organizing attacks, especially through the aisles: Riski is a very fast and excellent player in the offensive transition. For this game the coach can not rely on Pirinen, Pelvas and O'Shaughnessy, all recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Maksim Rudakov, Rafinha, Nikolai Alho, Roni Peiponen, Mikko Sumusalo, Faith Obilor, Riku Riski, Anthony Annan, Jordan Domínguez, Evans Mensah, Klauss.
Coach: O. Virta.

Analysis Olimpija

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match with an advantage of 3 goals, but has suffered 0 goals at home in the 1st leg. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 9 conceded; against 6 wins, 8 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last match, for the 1. SNL, they got an away win against Triglav by (0‑4). In the last 10 away matches Olimpija has won 4, tied 5 and lost 1.

Olimpija comes to this clash with a 0-4 away triumph over Triglav, in a game for the Slovenian Championship. We should point out that the Slovenians have not lost for six previous matches. The team led by Aleksandar Linta usually plays in 4-3-3, with Abass as the most offensive reference of the away team: he scored twice in the first leg of this round. To remember that Olimpija has competence in the counter-attack, finalization and set pieces. Rok Kronaveter is one of the highlights of this team, being owner of great vision of the game. For this game the coach can not count on the suspended Crnic.

Confirmed Lineup: Aljaž Ivačič, Aris Zarifović, Branko Ilić, Dino Štiglec, Rok Kronaveter, Nik Kapun, Marko Putinčanin, Stefan Savić, Tomislav Tomić, Daniel Avramovski, Issah Abass.
Coach: R. Prosinečki.
