Veikkausliiga
HJK were significantly better than Inter Turku in the previous years. The club from Bolt Arena won six of the last nine H2H matches, while Inter Turku won only one. This year, the teams had two head-to-head games, and both clashes ended with a draw.
HJK team overview
HJK are considered the best team in Finland, but after losing the championship race to KuPS last year, they could stay empty-handed again as Miika Nuutinen's team is five points behind Inter Turku. HJK played solidly lately, as they were on a run of four games in a row without defeat until Thursday, when Nuutinen's team unexpectedly lost at home in the Conference League qualifications against Arda after penalties. Now, HJK must focus on Veikkausliiga as it remains their only competition for 2025.
David Ezeh, Liam Moller, and Daniel O'Shaughnessy are injured and will not play on Monday against Inter Turku.

Inter Turku team overview
Most pundits didn't see Inter Turku as the title contender in Finland before the season. However, after 17 rounds, they are still undefeated, so Vesa Vasara's team is two points ahead of the next team on the table, Ilves, and five points ahead of HJK. Inter Turku continued its excellent run last weekend with a 4-1 win at home against SJK.
Inter Turku's Iiro Jarvinen is injured and will not play at Bolt Arena against HJK. The good news for Inter Turku is that Momodou Sarr will return to the squad after serving a yellow card suspension.

Prediction
The game against Inter Turku comes for HJK after a disappointing defeat against Arda. HJK have had some problems in defense lately, and Inter Turku will exploit that. On the other hand, HJK are too powerful in the attack, so we should expect a couple of goals from them, too. Our prediction: Over 2.5 goals.
3 Reasons why we should expect three or more goals in this match
- HJK scored 14 goals in the last five matches
- HJK allowed four goals in the previous two games
- Inter Turku scored nine goals in the last three matches
- There were at least four goals in each of the previous three Inter Turku games
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
