- Competition: Veikkausliiga
- Date: Wednesday, 2nd July 2025
- Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CEST
- Venue: Bolt Arena (Helsinki)
The Finnish Veikkausliiga seems more interesting than ever, with five top teams separated by only three points. One of the teams is also HJK, which won 15 league titles in the 21st century. HJK have been in fantastic form in recent months, winning ten of the last 13 matches. In the previous games, they lost 3-0 on the road against KuPS. According to the stats, the teams were pretty even, but the home side made a big difference with excellent efficiency.
Jaro are one of the teams that are fighting to avoid relegation this season. After twelve Veikkausliiga rounds, they collected only 11 points, but there are also two worse teams. Jaro has played well lately, with two wins in the last three matches. In the previous game, they lost 3-2 on the road against KTP. The home side had an xG of 1.51, while the guests had 1.97, so the guests surely deserved at least a point. However, good performance will give Jaro another boost of confidence.
HJK vs Jaro pick: Over 3.5 goals
HJK scored 11 goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Jaro scored eight goals in the previous three games. We should expect four or more goals on Wednesday afternoon at Bolt Arena.

HJK team news
After the first defeat after 12 matches, the caretaker manager, Miika Nuutinen, was expectedly disappointed. He said, "A really weak start, everything but what we were looking for. KuPS came into the game well and we were in the stands today. The decisive moments in terms of the game were in the first five minutes. We built up the ranks and tried to get into the game, but at no point did we manage to do so today."
David Ezeh, Daniel O'Shaughnessy, and Ville Tikkanen are injured and will not play on Wednesday against Jaro.

Jaro team news
Jaro, for most of the season, had problems with their weak attacking line, but in the last few weeks, they have been brilliant. However, now the defense is struggling. We should expect Jaro to improve their team in the coming weeks to improve their chances of survival in Veikkausliiga.
Jaro will be without Manasse Kusu on Wednesday in Helsinki.
