Bolt Arena, Helsinki is the venue for a Conference League qualifier on Thursday evening as HJK takes on Faroes visitors NSI Runavik.
HJK vs NSI Runavik Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals
HJK return to Finland with their hopes of Conference League qualification hanging by a thread after a shock 4:0 setback in last week's first leg in the Faroe Islands.
The result sent shockwaves across Scandinavian football and leaves the hosts needing a huge performance to keep their European hopes alive.
Another high-scoring encounter now seems inevitable on Thursday with the hosts looking to chase down an NSI side that often struggles in away continental matches.
Both teams have posted consistently high numbers relative to our favourite goal markets this season, and I see no reason for that pattern to deviate on Thursday. HJK have seen over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven matches and in all but one of ten previous games played in Helsinki.
Visiting NSI have similarly consistent numbers, with ten of their last 11 games seeing a minimum of three goals scored. In fact, 13 of their last 16 games saw at least FOUR goals scored.
With those numbers in mind, I'm confident we will see plenty of goalmouth action again at Bolt Arena.
Over 2.5 goals is my preferred pick on Thursday.
