HJK Team News
HJK is the most successful club in Finnish football, with 32 national championship titles. In recent years, they have been dominant, winning three consecutive titles. However, in the current Veikkausliiga season, they are currently in third place on the table with 31 points from 17 played matches, trailing the leaders SJK by four points.
In the first round of Champions League qualifications, HJK played two matches against Larne. In the first match in Helsinki, they secured a 1-0 victory, but in the return leg, they advanced to the next round only after extra time (2-2), thanks to an own goal by the home team in the 97th minute.
Despite a strong start to the season, HJK’s form has declined, and they are currently far from their best performance. In their last six matches, they managed to secure only two victories, against Larne and Ilves (1-0) in the previous round of the Finnish championship.
Molde Team News
Over the past few years, Molde has emerged as one of the top teams in Norway, along with Bodo/Glimt. Despite winning the championship title last season, they are currently in the third position in the Eliteserien league after 16 played matches, trailing the leaders Bodo/Glimt by 12 points. In the previous round, they were convincing at home against Sarpsborg 08, defeating them 5-1.
Unlike HJK’s start to the season, Molde initially struggled, securing only one point in the first four matches. However, they quickly regained their form and achieved an outstanding run of 14 victories in 17 matches in all competitions. They are currently on a four-game winning streak with a goal difference of 14-2. The timing is perfect for them to begin the Champions League qualifications, so we expect they will have an advantage, even when playing away.
