HJK vs Molde 25.07.2023 Prediction: UEFA Champions League qualification

Match Overview

The Bolt Arena will witness a brilliant game between HJK and Molde in the first round of the UEFA Champions League qualification competition on Tuesday. While HJK represent the country of Finland in this tournament, Molde hail from the nation of Norway. It will be quite challenging for Molde to travel to the lair of HJK and try to get a positive result to their name given how raucous the latter's supporters are.

Key Highlights

HJK, who have been defeated on just one occasion in the last five matches that they have played, will want to carry this momentum forward and dish out the same treatment to Molde as well. The latter, for their part, have been in fine touch, being unbeaten in the last five encounters that they have been a part of. They have also kept a clean sheet in three of those matches, conceding a total of three goals in the other two.

Injury Report

Molde will miss out on the services of Martin Ellingsen and Magnus Eikren for this game against HJK here on Tuesday. Both of these players are expected to come back only in the month of August. HJK, for their part, do not have any major absentees in their team.

Prediction

Both HJK and Molde are very nicely balanced and matched with each other. While HJK have scored a total of just five goals in their last outings, Molde have netted an unbelievable fourteen in their last five games. In fact, they come into this game on the back of a massive 4-0 win over Valerenga. Molde have a big advantage for sure. We expect them to win this game rather comfortably.
