General match analysis

HJK are clear favourites: they win 56% of their home matches, while Jaro are yet to win away from home and have lost 78% of their matches. The hosts average 1.44 goals and 4.67 shots on target per game at home, whereas Jaro score just 0.44 goals away and fail to score in 67% of their outings. The visitors’ defence concedes an average of 2.56 goals away from home, have kept a clean sheet in only 11% of matches, and have allowed chances worth an average xG of 1.75. HJK also come into the match in better form, winning 3 of their last 5 games and conceding just 4 goals in that run, while Jaro have an away goal difference of -19. The contrast between the teams’ home and away performances points to a controlled home win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest argument for BTTS - No is Jaro’s poor attacking consistency: the visitors score just 0.44 goals per match on average and failed to score in 67% of their games. Their season BTTS rate is only 33%, well below HJK’s 70% and the league average of 49%. HJK have improved defensively over their last five matches, conceding 0.8 goals per game with opponents’ xG limited to 0.99, while BTTS occurred in only 20% of those fixtures. The hosts should create chances against a Jaro defence conceding an average of 2.56 goals and allowing 1.75 xG, but the more likely scenario is that at least Jaro fail to score. The visitors’ last five appearances, with BTTS at 60%, increase the risk of a goal, but this does not offset their very low season scoring efficiency of 4% and an average of only 1.0 goal across that run.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

HJK should create more chances, averaging 4.9 shots on target per match, while Jaro concede as many as 2.56 goals per game. However, the visitors score just 0.44 goals per game on average this season and have failed to score in 67% of their matches, which clearly limits their contribution to a high-scoring game. HJK’s last five matches produced an average of 2.0 total goals, with the hosts conceding just 0.8 goals per match. The Under 3.5 line also receives additional support from seasonal trends: 70% of HJK’s matches and 67% of Jaro’s games finished below this line. HJK’s superiority could result in around 1.7 goals for the hosts, but Jaro’s poor finishing points towards a result staying within the three-goal range.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

HJK have a clear first-half advantage: they have led at the break in 50% of their matches, averaging 1.0 goals before half-time while conceding just 0.6. Jaro have been trailing after 45 minutes in 56% of their games, with a very modest average of just 0.33 goals scored in this period and 1.11 conceded. Over the course of the season, the hosts average 1.40 goals per match, while Jaro score only 0.44, and the visitors have lost 78% of their games without recording a single win. Jaro continue to look very poor after the break, averaging just 0.11 goals scored while allowing opponents 1.44, which further strengthens HJK’s chances of maintaining their lead. HJK’s last five matches have produced a 60% win rate and a 4:0 half-time goal difference, making 1/1 the most likely HT/FT outcome: HJK to lead at half-time and win at full-time.
