Klubi-04 vs HJK Helsinki prediction 24.06.2025 | Suomen Cup

• Competition: Suomen Cup, Quarter-Finals
• Date: Tuesday, 24th June, 2025
• Kickoff: 10:00 UK / 11:00 CEST
• Venue: Bolt Arena (Helsinki)

On Tuesday morning, we will have an exciting situation in the Suomen Cup Quarter Finals, as Klubi 04 (HJK's B team) will face HJK at their shared ground, Bolt Arena in Helsinki.

Last year, Klubi 04 managed to return to Ykkosliiga (second tier) after spending two seasons in the third tier of Finish football. This year, they started off well in the league, currently sitting in 4th place with 16 points. However, their goal is only to secure survival, as they cannot be promoted anyway since their parent club is already playing in that league. Still, this duel will be a lot of fun because they proved they can beat the Veikkausliiga's teams in the Cup, eliminating Mariehamn in the previous round.

HJK, the greatest club in Finland, failed to win the title in 2024 after winning four straight between 2020 and 2023. This year, they had an atrocious start, winning once in the first five games. However, after changing the coach, things started going for the better, and they managed to string 11 games without a loss. Now, they are in second place with 23 points - only two points away from the top spot, but with one game played more than first-placed Inter Turku. Meanwhile, in the Cup, they had a relatively easy schedule, beating JaPS (second-tier) and Mikkeli (third-tier).

Klubi 04 vs HJK pick: Over 2.5 goals

Klubi 04 have been fantastic for this type of bet, as they consistently played high-scoring games. Including the Suomen Cup and Ykkosliiga, they played 14 games this season and were over 2.5 goals in 11 of them - 79%! Also, they have been very efficient at home, especially in recent matches, scoring three or more goals in three of the last four games. So, we could see them scoring even against HJK.

HJK are in excellent form, having won three in a row and eight of their last nine matches. During that nine-game stretch, they scored 26 goals - an incredible 2.9 goals per game. If they managed to score almost three goals per game against much better competition, we firmly believe they will score a lot against their B team.

The only time these teams faced each other was two years ago in the 1/16 Finals of the Suomen Cup when HJK won 4:0. Considering all the above, we believe that an over 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Suomen Cup tie.
