HJK Helsinki news
HJK prolonged their winless streak to three games after they lost against Lahti.
The head coach was expectedly disappointed. He said, "We are in the right places enough, but we don't get enough out of them. In addition, we lose important duels, which lead to turnovers".
For HJK, the game against Larne could be the turning point of the season, but they certainly are not in a good moment right now. The Finnish side are ranked 228 positions above Larne in the UEFA rankings and have a long history in the Champions League qualifying stages, making it past the first round in each of their last six appearances.
Larne FC news
Larne last season lost in the first round of Conference League qualifications against St. Joseph's from Gibraltar.
This time, the players are expected to everything be much better. Leroy Millar, one of Larne's best players, said that players at that time were frustrated with the coach changing formation from 4-3-3 to 3-5-2.
HJK Helsinki VS Larne FC Prediction
This will be the first meeting between the two sides.
Thirteen of Larne's last 15 competitive games have seen at least one side fail to find the back of the net.
Eight of HJK's last 10 games have produced less than three goals.
Larne have lost just one game in their last 12 away games in all competitions, winning nine games in this sequence.
Larne have never made it to the group stage of a European competition and are participating in the UEFA Champions League for the first time.
None of HJK's last nine games have been decided by more than a one-goal margin.
Larne won a maiden league crown last season and there is no limit to the heights that the club can set their sights on. Their rock-solid defense has kept seven clean sheets in 11 games and could be crucial to their qualification hopes.
HJK have not been at their best domestically this term and are currently on a three-game winless run. However, we are backing the Finns to claim a narrow win in addition to a clean sheet.
