HJK head into this match on the back of a 2-2 draw against KuPS in the Veikkausliiga. Despite the draw, they maintained a one-point advantage at the top of the table during the regular season, accumulating 44 points from 22 games. They displayed a strong offensive performance, scoring 39 goals, while their defense conceded 19.

Bojan Radulovic, a 23-year-old forward, has been a consistent threat to opponents throughout the season. He has been a key contributor to his team's quest for league glory, boasting an impressive record of 15 goals and 1 assist – the highest goal tally of any player in the league. His goal-scoring prowess makes him a player to watch in this upcoming match.

Inter Turku have shown resilience in their recent matches, securing three consecutive victories. This impressive streak has not only helped them secure a spot in the championship group of the playoffs but has also provided a sense of relief, ensuring their continued presence in the league. While they may be considered underdogs in this group, their recent string of wins will undoubtedly serve as a source of motivation as they approach this upcoming clash.

These two sides have met 12 times from 2021 till date. HJK have 8 wins, Inter Turku have 3 wins and there have been 1 draw. HJK won the last game between these two sides 3-1 back in August.

Without a doubt, the hosts are in a better position to get the win in this clash, but I don’t expect the visitors to give up without a fight.
