Head-to-head statistics HJK Helsinki - Inter Turku
HJK Helsinki Team Overview
HJK are Finland's most decorated club, but the last two league titles have gone to Kuopio. They currently sit on 37 points, with Gnistan breathing down their necks just one point behind. Joonas Rantanen is in his first season in charge. In the penultimate round, the hosts were two goals up at home against Gnistan and still came away with nothing. They ended the regular season with a win in Tampere. Before the transfer window closed, Nikolai Alho returned to Helsinki and Joona Veteli joined from Ilves. At home, HJK have scored in 12 of their last 13 matches across all competitions. However, they have also been conceding regularly on their own ground: 14 goals at home in the league this season.

Inter Turku Team Overview
Inter Vaasa are just one point behind league leaders KuPS. Saturday's trophy has already secured the club a place in European competition next season. They have lost twice in the league this season, and both times to Gnistan. In the summer, Inter reached the Conference League play-offs for the first time. They went unbeaten across seven qualifying matches before Copenhagen knocked them out. At the end of August, Inter sold Ilari Kangasniemi to Leicester for €2.5 million - a Veikkausliiga record. Their defence remains the best in the league, having conceded just 16 goals.

Match Result Prediction
Inter Turku have gone unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 league matches. Over the season they have lost just twice in 22 rounds. But the key factor is how rarely they concede - they give up an average of 0.73 goals per 90 minutes. The chances of Inter losing are minimal. Double Chance - X2 is the natural bet here.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Inter's attack has gone quiet in recent rounds. They have scored fewer than two goals in 6 of their last 7 Veikkausliiga matches. One goal was enough for them in the Cup final too. Over the regular season they scored 29 goals - fewer than KuPS, HJK and Gnistan. A goalless evening seems unlikely. In 8 of HJK's last 9 home matches, both teams combined for at least two goals. We are not expecting more than one goal from the visitors. The bet is Inter Team Total - Under 1.5. Predicted score: 1-1.
