HJK vs NSI prediction
The first-leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League first qualifying round tie last week saw NSI Runavik hammer HJK Helsinki by four goals to nil at Djupumyrar. Emil Joensen opened the scoring for the Faroese in the 12th minute before Jere Kallinen was then sent off for the Finish about ten minutes later. NSI then ran riot for the rest of the games, courtesy of goals from Fabian Ostigard Ness, Daniel Obbekjaer and Klaemint Olsen.
HJK would have expected to go deep into Europe again, like reaching the league phase of the UEFA Europa Conference League last season, as they now take on an NSI Runavik side that have perhaps had the best result in their history last week.
NSI will go to Finland and simply play on the counter-attack, but it has to be expected that HJK, despite underperformance in the last 12 months, come out on top here.
