HJK vs SJK prediction 20.05.2025 | Veikkausliiga

• Competition: Veikkausliiga
• Date: Tuesday, 20th May 2025
• Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CEST
• Venue: Bolt Arena (Helsinki)

After failing to win the Veikkausliiga championship title last season, HJK hopes to return the most important trophy in the domestic football. That will be extremely hard as KuPS are already 12 points ahead. HJK had a terrible start to the season, but they won three of the last four matches, so the team from Bolt Arena is hoping that there is still enough time to catch the league leader. In the previous game, HJK won 4-1 at home against KTP. The home side finished the match with 67% ball possession and 28 shots on goal, so it is no wonder they secured a big win. 

Most pundits expect SJK to be a mid-table Veikkausliiga team. They started the season magnificently, but slowed down in the previous few weeks as SJK have not won in the last four matches. In the previous game, they played 2-2 on the road against Gnistan. The teams were pretty even in that match, so it is no wonder they split the points. 

HJK vs SJK pick: Over 2.5 goals

HJK scored 11 goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, SJK scored 11 goals in the previous six games. In the first H2H match of the season, SJK won 1-0, but in the game on Tuesday afternoon, we should expect more goals.
