Honka's performance this season has been commendable, as they have accumulated 19 points in 14 matches. While their goal-scoring and conceding record stands at 12 goals each, their current 5th position in the table indicates their ability to compete with other teams in the league.

Clesio Bauque has been a standout player for Honka, with 4 goals and 1 assist to his name this season. His contributions on the pitch make him a player to watch out for in this upcoming match, as he possesses the potential to make a significant impact on the outcome.

Furthermore, Honka's recent form is encouraging, with an unbeaten run in their last three league games and three consecutive wins across all competitions. This positive momentum will undoubtedly boost their confidence and motivation heading into the match against HJK.

HJK's performance in the league this season has been impressive, placing them in a strong position in the table. With just one point behind the league leaders, KuPS, they have showcased their attacking prowess and defensive strength.

Scoring 23 goals and conceding 10 demonstrates HJK's ability to find the back of the net while maintaining a solid defensive line. Bojan Radulovic, their 23-year-old Serbian attacker, has been exceptional, leading the league's goalscoring chart with 9 goals. His contributions have been crucial in keeping HJK in the hunt for the league title.

Having suffered only one defeat in the league so far, which came against the current league leader KuPS, HJK have proven to be a formidable team to face. Their consistent performances and ability to remain competitive in every match make them a challenging opponent for any team in the league.

With their attacking prowess, defensive stability, and the form of players like Bojan Radulovic, HJK will be motivated to continue their strong campaign and secure a positive result against Honka.

The previous encounters between Honka and HJK show a relatively even record, with HJK holding a slight advantage in terms of wins. Out of the 23 meetings since 2017, HJK have emerged victorious 11 times, while Honka have secured 6 wins. The remaining 6 matches ended in draws.

Looking specifically at their encounters this year, HJK have been the more successful side, winning twice against Honka. However, it is worth noting that Honka managed to secure a victory against HJK in a match that ended in a penalty shootout.

Sitting second on the league table, the visitors will want to keep their title hope alive with a win. So I expect the away side to win with 2 goals or more coupled with a clean sheet.
