Larne Team News

The Larne team played a friendly match against Ballyclare before the match against HJK and won with a score of 4-0. Andy Ryan and Isaac Westendorf scored two goals each in that match. Throughout the game, they were the dominant team and deservedly won.

In the league competition, they finished at the top of the table with 83 points, six more than the second-placed Linfield. They were defeated by the Crusaders with a score of 0-2 in the Charity Shield final. In their last five matches, they recorded three wins and suffered two losses.

After having little impact in the first leg, Andy Ryan might make way for Newcastle United Under-21 striker, Isaac Westendorf, who came on in the last 10 minutes of the previous match.

Paul O’Neill was not in the starting lineup for Larne in the last match, but he could return in this encounter, while Daniel Kearns hopes to be promoted to the starting eleven instead of Dylan Sloan.

HJK Team News

Before the match against their next opponent, Larne, HJK played their last game on July 8th against Lahti away and lost 0-1. Despite being the better team according to all statistical parameters in that match, they failed to equalize after conceding a goal in the 33rd minute.

As the Veikkausliiga is still ongoing, they currently hold the third position on the table with 28 points, four points behind KuPS. They qualified for the UEFA Champions League qualifiers by finishing in first place on the table in the previous season. In their last five matches, they recorded two wins, and two draws, and suffered one loss.

Valtteri Moren and Oliver Pettersson remain the only injury absentees for HJK Helsinki, and neither is expected to return soon.

Bojan Radulović scored his 11th goal in all competitions in the first leg and will almost certainly retain his spot at the top of the attack, while Roope Riski could replace Topi Keskinen in the attacking trio. However, we’ll have to wait and see.
