Haka, Recent FormHaka had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Lahti.
It's fair to say that manager Andy Smith will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 16 games in a row.
It has been a solid run of home form of late, having gone undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches at home and clocking up 4 wins along the way.
Goalscorer Elias Mastokangas will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Haka.
HJK, Recent FormLast time out for HJK resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 3-3 draw against SJK in a match they really wanted to win.
Whilst manager Ossi Virta will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 15 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Tope Keskinen will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for HJK.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for Klubi in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Haka in their last 25 meetings together. Haka have struggled to break down the HJK defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Playing away from home, HJK have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Haka.
It's been a long time since HJK have lost this fixture, having picked up points against Haka in 20 league games in a row.
With no real injury worries, Haka manager Andy Smith will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
HJK manager Ossi Virta has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
