Haka hosts HJK in round 7 of the Finnish Veikkausliiga. The match will be played on Thursday, June 10th at Tehtaan Kenttä (Valkeakoski)
Haka was one of the leaders of Finnish football at the turn of the century. Between 1995 and 2004, the Black-and-Whites managed to win five champion’s titles and three national cups. But then there was a protracted decline. Haka played in Ykkonen, that is, at the second level of national football. And only at the end of the year before last, the team got the right to return to the elite. The previous season was especially difficult due to quarantine, but the newcomer was able to finish 10th. The new draw started with three defeats in a row. But in May the Black-and-Whites still got in shape and beat Mariehamn and KuPS in the last two rounds. Did they manage to keep this drive after a short pause?

HJK is not a complete analog of Bayern Munich on a national scale. Nevertheless, the capital project is rightfully considered the strongest, and this is confirmed by a record figure of 30 champion’s titles. Moreover, the anniversary mark was reached last year, when golden medals returned to Helsinki after a one-year pause. Now HJK is trying to keep its first place. There was a misfire in early May, when the favorite could not beat KuPS (it was able to withstand and kept a goalless draw at home). But all the other five games of the new championship ended in victories with a total score of 14-3. Thanks to this, HJK is in the leading position. Inter Turku managed to lose once, so it lags behind the leader by one point.
Of course, HJK has an obvious advantage in head-to-head matches. In the last 13 games, Haka managed to gain only one draw. And then it happened back in 2012, when the home match ended with a 2-2 score. It is clear that everyone is waiting only for the victory of HJK. Although Haka came to life by the end of May, it will not have any chances. We bet on the visitors to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: HJK to win with -1.0 handicap
