HJK hosts Ilves in round 9 of the Finnish Veikkausliiga. The match will be played on Friday, June 18th at Bolt Arena (Helsinki)
The most titled club of Finland leads the championship standings after eight rounds. HJK is in excellent shape. The team shared points with their opponents only once, and the other seven matches ended in victories. In the last round, HJK was able to beat Mariehamn away with a score of 0-1. This success allowed the White-Blues to increase their lead over the closest pursuer to four points. So far, the Club is the best in the league in all respects, but it's too early to slow down.

Ilves played seven matches in the championship. Now the team occupies the 7th place in the standings. The Lynxes lost the last two matches, but both of them were played away. Precisely, Ilves couldn’t deal with Lahti (3-1) and SJK (1-0). It is unlikely that the team will fight for high places this season. Ilves was a champion only once in its history, but it happened a long time ago. The club needs to interrupt its streak of failures, but it will be very difficult to do it in the match against the leader.
HJK has a significant advantage in terms of head-to-head matches, which is quite logical. The main Finnish grandee already beat Ilves a month and a half ago 90-3 away), and all the goals were scored in the first half an hour of the match. It's not hard to guess that the hosts are favorites in the upcoming confrontation. HJK leads the championship standings and is in the best shape. Ilves will fight, although the chances of scoring points in such a game are not highly rated. We consider it acceptable to bet on the home team to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: HJK to win with -1.0 handicap
