HIFK SJK betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The home factor should weigh in this match, as shown by the most recent retrospective, but a draw is the least likely result. In three matches between these teams last year there were no draws, HIFK won the two they played at home, but lost the other when it was the visitor. Therefore, this should be a very balanced match, but with HIFK having favoritism. However, the home team has not been able to balance the nets frequently and has a terrible average of 2 goals conceded per game. Thus, the SJK can make use of its greatest strength, which is the defensive sector, and take advantage of the fragile opponent's defense to win.

Preview
HIFK and SJK meet at Sonera Stadium, in a match for the 4th round of the Veikkausliiga. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 7 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 21‑09‑2019, in a match for the Veikkausliiga, HIFK won by (2‑0). The goals of the match were scored by Luis Henrique (16' and 29' ) for HIFK. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since SJK presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis HIFK

After 1 win and 2 losses, the home team is in the 8th position, havinf won 3 points so far. In the last match, they have lost at home against Lahti by (0‑3), after in the previous match they have won (0‑1) an away match against RoPS. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches HIFK has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 11 of the last 11 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 3 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (0'‑15').

This is one of the oldest teams in Finland, having been founded in the 19th century, in 1897, and carries in its luggage seven titles from the Finnish first division. In a more recent history, however, the Helsingfors IFK varies between the Finnish football elite and the second division. This is only the team's second consecutive year at Veikkausliiga and, in three matches so far, they have lost by 3-0 twice playing at home. Surprisingly, when they played away from home, they won against Rops by 1-0. Thus, they have six goals conceded and only one scored in 3 games, which shows a lot of incosistency. In this match against an opponent who is also at the bottom of the table, the home team has a good chance of redeeming themselves, but they will urgently need to establish their defensive system. In the offensive sector, Luis Henrique is the best chance of goals for the team, but the Brazilian striker has not yet hit the net in 2020. Last year, he scored 8 goals in 14 games.

Confirmed Lineup: Arnold Otieno Origi, Tuukka Andberg, Hannu Patronen, Jani Bäckman, Sakari Mikael Mattila, Moshtagh Yaghoubi, Tiquinho, Riku Selander, Joel Mattsson, Luis Henrique, Sakari Tukiainen.

Analysis SJK

The away team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 4 points won, after 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Lahti, by (0‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Mariehamn, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 9 away matches SJK has won 1, tied 3 and lost 5. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 9 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals.

The visiting team comes to the match unmotivated by a defeat at home in the last match. With the result, SJK adds a victory, a draw and a defeat in the competition, having suffered 2 and scored 2 goals in total. Therefore, the expectation is that the visitors will not be able to take great advantage of the defensive flaws that the home team has presented. The match should not have many goals and will possibly be decided on the details. The home team should try to impose more of the rhythm of the game, but the visitor will certainly take danger in the counterattacks and, mainly, in the aerial ball. If they can get the defense back to work, SJK has a chance to surprise and come out victorious even playing away from home.

Confirmed Lineup: Walter Viitala, Ville Tikkanen, Tero Mantyla, Darvin Chávez, Mehmet Hetemaj, Anel Rashkaj, Daniel Håkans, Matej Hradecky, Robin Sid, Serge Atakayi, Billy Ions.
Coach: J. Honkavaara.
