The answer is in our forecast for this match.
Match announcement
HJK
FinlandCurrent form
Finnish HJK made it to the main stage of the Conference League with great difficulty. The hosts fought for a ticket to the tournament until the last minutes in the last qualifying round, where they still managed to beat the sensation of last season, Faroese Klaksvik (2:2, 2:1). It was immediately clear that the Finns would most likely become one of the weakest teams in the main stage. So far, so it has turned out, they have only managed to beat the same outsider, Minsk Dynamo (1:0). In the remaining matches, the footballers from Helsinki lost without much of a chance to Lugano (0:3), Olimpija from Ljubljana (0:2) and Greek Panathinaikos (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their squad before the European Cup match.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the hosts' last ten games have ended in a draw
- The club have suffered three defeats in four matches in the Conference League
Probable lineup: Neichens - Antsoulas, Toivio, O'Shaughnessy - Ylitolva, Møller, Kanellopoulos, Pallas - Khostikka, Ervin, Kokcu
Molde
NorwayCurrent form
The Norwegian club is not doing much better than its opponent. Molde is ahead of HJK only on additional indicators and is in 27th place in the overall table. The club is only one point behind the playoff zone. In the first round, the Norwegian representatives managed to beat Northern Irish Larne, but since then they have not scored a single point. The visitors were unable to counter Gent (1:2), Jagiellonia (0:3) and APOEL (0:1). It is worth noting that the club finished the Norwegian championship only in fifth place and did not qualify for European competitions next season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Veton Berisha, Kasper Oyvann and Joan Bakke will be out due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has lost its last three matches in the Conference League
- In the last five matches, they managed to win only one victory
Tentative line-up: Posiadala, Amundsen, Bjornback, Haugan, Stevenik, Eriksen, Daly, Kaasa, Haugen, Brynhilsen, Eikrem.

1.75Tip and bets
The hosts can rarely score points in this tournament, but today is one of the few such matches. Molde is also showing rather weak results and did not even enter the Eurocup zone in Norway. The club suffered three defeats in a row, and HJK managed to impose a fight on Panathinaikos, to whom they lost by only one goal. We believe that the Finnish club will be able to cause problems for the opponent now.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (+1) on HIK for 1.73
Bet on total
The opponents are not just among the worst teams in the tournament for nothing. The opponents are playing rather poorly in attack, and the hosts have scored only one goal in four matches. Most likely, we will not see many goals in the match between direct competitors.
Our prediction is under 2.5 goals for 2.15
Bet on corners
We don't expect our opponents to play aggressively in attack in this match, so we recommend betting that there won't be many corners.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners for 1.88
