On Tuesday afternoon, Inter Turku hosts HJK Helsinki at the Veritas Stadion in the Veikkausliiga, as the visitors look to continue their title defence in the Finnish top-flight.

Inter Turku

The home side has made a highly inconsistent start to their league campaign in the Veikkausliiga. In fact, Inter Turku have won three and lost two of their five league games so far in the Finnish top flight.

A 4-0 win home win over Mariehamn last time out in the league was their third win in four league outings. They have also scored at least two goals in all three of those recent wins.

Miguel Grau’s team has struggled for consistency on home soil of late in the Veikkausliiga, winning two and losing three of their last five home league matches.

However, Inter Turku has remained potent in front of goal in the Finnish top-flight on home soil, having scored at least two goals in six of their last seven home games in the league.

HJK Helsinki

The league’s reigning champions and the most successful club in the history of the Finnish league have made a decent start to their Veikkausliiga, winning four and losing one of their five matches so far this season.

HJK have beaten Honka, SJK, VPS and HIFK, while also suffering a defeat against Tuesday night’s opponents on home soil.

The reigning champions have been solid overall in defence in recent games, keeping clean sheets in all four of their wins in the Finnish top-flight this season. However, Inter Turku put four goals past them in the aforementioned encounter between the pair.

HJK have won all three of their away games this season. The Finnish champions are also unbeaten in their previous nine league matches on their travels.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that HJK will gain revenge for the defeat earlier in the season by recording a win in a low-scoring encounter.
