This evening you can enjoy the second match-up between Larne and HJK. This is a 1 ⁄ 8 finals UEFA Champions League qualification duel in which HJK travels to Northern Ireland with one goal advantage from the previous game. Namely, in the match in Finland, HJK scored at the very beginning of the game from the penalty spot and managed to keep the lead till the end.
Therefore, it’s going to be very interesting to see the performance of both squads and the final score of the game, this time at Solitude football ground.
Larne FC
At the beginning of July Larne played in the Charity Shield against Crusaders and lost the game with a final score of 0:2. This match was followed by a friendly duel against Ballyclare in which Larne played very well and won the game with a final score of 0:4.
However, after this game, they lost the 1st leg. duel against HJK. But still, Larne has a great chance to do better due to their home arena’s advantage. So there’s no doubt that tonight the boys from Belfast will show their best and go for the victory.
HJK Helsinki
HJK currently sits in the 3rd position in the Veikkausliiga with a score of 7 wins, 7 draws, and 2 losses. After playing 2 draws in a row against Haka (1:1) and Honka (1:1), unfortunately, HJK lost the match against Lahti by 0:1. Fortunately, they won the following duel against Larne FC (1:0) in the UEFA Champions League qualifications.
But tonight they are facing another big challenge in which the squad from Helsinki must set a quality tactical approach and bring their maximum on the pitch in order to win the ticket for the quarter-finals.
Verdict
We expect a very physical football match in which both teams will try their best to finish the game with a clean sheet. The slight favorite for the victory will be the visiting team HJK.
