HIFK hosts HJK in round 13 of Finnish Veikkausliiga. The match will be played on Thursday, September 10th at Bolt Arena (Helsinki)
By the 14th round, everything fell into place in the Finnish Veikkausliiga. The recognized favorite from the capital came to its senses and immediately managed to take advantage of the misfires of competitors. And the derby with fellow citizens was always hot. Honestly, HIFK was not lucky. The team had an excellent start, and thanks to the order in defense, the hosts managed to gain a foothold at the top of the standings. Now there is a black streak, the movement of which was interrupted only in the last round. The minimal victory over Honka allowed HIFK to catch up with the upcoming opponent. The hosts are in fifth place before the derby.

HJK sailed along for a long time, but the team remembers perfectly well the unsuccessful last year's fight against the team from Turku, which representatives of Kuopio took advantage of. Now the coaching staff has given clear instructions to guarantee a solid margin for the second round of the competition. The visitors approached the derby in the rank of a leader, having a dozen points advantage over their fellow citizens. HJK’s nearest pursuer, Inter Turku, lost points in the last round, and the distance between the first and second places amounts to four points.
There has always been a lot of tension in the derby. Of course, HIFK has significantly improved, but when the flagship is under way, it is almost impossible to stop it. HJK won four games in a row, and the island club suffered a real thumping in the last round (6:1). In my opinion, the best attack will not only breach the defenses of uncompromising fellow citizens, but will also be able to swagger again. HJK is in perfect shape, and it is likely to continue its winning streak in head-to-head matches.
Prediction for the match: HJK to win
