Gnistan vs HJK Helsinki prediction 28.07.2025 | Veikkausliiga

• Competition: Veikkausliiga
• Date: 28th July, 2025
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
• Venue: Mustapekka Areena

HJK will be looking to build on the success of recent weeks and record their third win in a row in the Veikkausliiga. On Monday, they face Gnistan, who are three places behind them in the table, in the Mustapekka Areena.

HJK go into this game on the back of a goalless 0-0 draw in their UEFA Conference League second round qualifier against Arda. With Thursday's draw, HJK have gone three consecutive games without defeat in recent weeks and are slowly gaining momentum.

Gnistan, on the other hand, did not play in Europe in midweek and were able to focus on preparing for another league game on Monday. Despite a less busy schedule, Gnistan have only won once so far in July - a 3-1 defeat to SJK last weekend.

IF Gnistan - HJK Betting Tips: HJK to Win

HJK have not played at their best for most of the season and have lacked consistency, which is currently reflected in the table. Despite a shaky first half of the season, the team has gained some momentum in recent weeks and is currently on a two-game winning streak in the Veikkausliiga. Gnistan, on the other hand, have not fared well in the first half of the summer break and have just one win in their last six league games. Based on these factors alone, we are betting on a third win in a row for HJK on Monday.
