Malmo, the Swedish giants, will play HJK, their Scandinavian neighbors, in Helsinki to continue their quest for Champions League football.
Malmo dominated their first-leg match at home last week, but only achieved a narrow 2-1 victory.
HJK will be hoping to make the most of their home advantage in order to qualify for the Champions League group stage for the first time since the 2014/15 season.
HJK is having a fantastic season in the Veikkausliiga, and they are now in first place, having won 11 of their 13 games so far. Their 12-match league unbeaten streak was snapped just before the first leg of this tie against Malmo by bottom-of-the-table Oulu, but they bounced back this weekend at the cost of Haka.
In front of their home audience, HJK consistently achieves great outcomes in European competitions. In 2019, they upset Red Star Belgrade 2-1, but the tie was broken with a 2-0 loss in Belgrade.
They have gone undefeated in nine of their previous ten home matches in Champions League qualifiers, with six victories, one loss, and three draws.
Malmo, like their Tuesday opponent, is having a fantastic season in the Allsvenskan, sitting atop the standings after 13 rounds.
They have gone undefeated in their last nine Champions League qualifiers, but four of them have been draws. Their last group stage appearance was in 2015/16, and this is only their third qualification appearance since then.
Goals are the #1 selection here, as HJK's qualification matches in Helsinki have typically delivered over 2.5 goals throughout the years. This is also a sign that a spectacular football match is on the horizon.
Prediction: We predict 2.5 Over in HJS and Malmo match
Tip: 2.5 Over
