Haka vs SJK Prediction: A big test for the hosts

Haka and SJK will play the first leg of their Conference League qualification final at the Tehtaan kenttä on Wednesday. The hosts had earlier played two qualification rounds before this game. Can they hold on to the end? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

Haka made it to this stage after getting a 4-3 penalty win over Gnistan in the Conference League Playoff semifinal. The game ended 2-2 at normal time. Through their journey, Haka got a 2-1 extra-time win over Inter Turku in the Conference League qualification playoffs quarterfinals. They finish the season 6th on the table with 38 points in 27 games. They are winless in 9 of their last 12 games. Their current form at home is nothing to write home about, too; they are winless in their last eight games at home.

SJK finished 4th in the championship group, but their performance towards the end of the season was terrible. They suffered three losses in a row, first against VPS, before losing 1-0 against KuPS, and then recently suffering 4-0 to Ilves.

SJK haven’t been motivated since their impressive regular season performance. Their losing run is enough to bring down the motivation of these guys while playing against Haka, who have tasted hard-fought wins in their journey for qualification. However, I expected both teams to score in this game.
