Larne vs HJK 19.07.2023 Prediction: UEFA Champions League qualification

Match Overview

Larne will host HJK in the second leg of the first round of their UEFA Champions League qualification competition at the Solitude Stadium on Wednesday. While Larne have not got on the scoresheet in the last two matches that they have played in, HJK have not been defeated in the last six matches that they have played away from home. We might have a real tussle between the two teams in this game then. 

Key Highlights

The first leg of this encounter was won by HJK by a narrow 1-0 scoreline played last week. However, this sort of a lead does not give HJK a lot of cushion and they will have to start afresh in this second leg as well. Larne have a good defensive unit and they will be very hard to break into. HJK, on the other hand, are expected to go all-in with their attacking threat and try to create as many chances inside the box as they possibly can.

Injury Report

We are glad to report that there are no major injuries on either HJK or Larne's rosters. This means that they will now be able to select their best possible starting lineups for this match.

Prediction

Larne, who have won just two out of the last five matches that they have played in, will feel that they are in for a rude shock when HJK travel to take them on in this game. Their opponents, for their part, have lost just one match out of the last five that they have participated in. Momentum is surely on the side of HJK, but we expect both teams to get on the scoresheet in this game (BTTS).
