SJK enter this fixture on the back of a victory over KuPS in Veikkausliiga, which adds to their impressive run of form. In their last five games, SJK have collected 15 points and scored nine goals, showcasing their attacking prowess.

The team have also performed well on their travels, remaining unbeaten in their last three away games. This positive away form will boost their confidence as they face HJK in this match.

SJK's momentum is building, as they have now gone eight games without a loss, winning five games in a row. Their ability to find the back of the net consistently, with nine goals scored in their last five games, demonstrates their attacking threat.

As they come up against HJK, SJK will look to maintain their unbeaten streak and continue their impressive winning run. They will rely on their strong form and goal-scoring ability to pose a challenge to their opponents.

In their previous 25 encounters, HJK have been the dominant side, securing victory in 18 matches against SJK. On the other hand, SJK have managed to win only three of these meetings, with four matches ending in a draw.

The head-to-head history between HJK and SJK at Bolt Arena suggests a tendency for high-scoring matches, with three out of the last four meetings producing over 2.5 goals. This indicates that both teams have been involved in entertaining and goal-filled encounters.

HJK's recent home form further supports the expectation of goals, as they have found the back of the net 13 times in their last five home games in Veikkausliiga. However, it's worth noting that HJK have also conceded goals in four of their previous five league outings, which suggests they have been vulnerable at the back.

SJK, on the other hand, have been relatively consistent in their goal-scoring, having netted nine times in their last five home and away games in the top division. This indicates their ability to pose a threat going forward.

Considering these factors, it is reasonable to expect a high-scoring game between HJK and SJK. Both teams have shown a propensity for finding the back of the net, while also displaying vulnerabilities in defense.
