Match Preview

HJK Helsinki lost the Finnish Veikkausliiga championship title to SJK and Mariehamn in the previous season, and they want to win it for the first time since 2014. They are favourites to do so, leading the table from the first weeks. The visitors only lost once all season, and haven't conceded a single goal in the last five fixtures. Goals were not always easy to come for them, but they thrashed big rivals SJK 6-0 on Wednesday, and that is a massive confidence boost for the leaders. Such self belief is crucial for our RoPS Rovaniemi vs HJK Helsinki betting tips.

RoPS Rovaniemi have been pretty disappointing so far, and one of the most interesting aspects for our RoPS Rovaniemi vs HJK Helsinki predictions is that there are no draws in their matches. The hosts won four and lost six, including the last two fixtures. Their defence doesn't look stable at all with 19 goals conceded already in just 10 matches.
