Form Guide — Last 5
SJK Seinäjoki
SJK’s recent form reads D‑W‑L‑L‑L, highlighted by a 3‑1 home win over Turku PS and a 0‑2 home loss to KuPS. The solitary win shows they can score, but the subsequent four defeats, including two heavy losses, underline a fragile defence that struggles to hold points, reducing the likelihood of a draw.
HJK Helsinki
HJK’s form of W‑L‑L‑W‑W features a 4‑0 away victory at Mariehamn and a 1‑0 home win over Turku PS, demonstrating both offensive firepower and the ability to protect a lead. Their two recent defeats were narrow (0‑4 to KuPS, 0‑2 to Lahti), but the rebound to back‑to‑back wins shows resilience, further lowering the chance of a stalemate.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings HJK have won four times, including a 3‑0 win on 4 April and a 4‑2 triumph on 20 May, indicating a clear dominance that disfavors a draw.
