Inter Turku and HJK meet in Veikkausliiga, with the hosts sitting 2nd, one place above the other side, but both still need points from this game to close out the season where they want to be. Inter Turku come in with a very tight defence, conceding an average of only 0.6 goals per game at home from 14 matches, and keeping a clean sheet in no fewer than 8 of those 14. HJK, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 5 straight, but their away defence still shows gaps, especially in the second half where they concede an average of 0.8 goals per game. This looks like a game where the hosts control the tempo and wait for their moment to attack, while HJK rely on speed on the counter. If Inter Turku score first, the game should become even tighter and force HJK to open up more, which is the kind of situation HJK thrive in. But if HJK take the lead first, the hosts will have to push forward and the game will open up into more of an exchange.
