KTP and HJK will meet at the Arto Tolsa Areena on Tuesday, May 9, 2023, in an interesting Finland VeikkausLiiga game.

KTP

LLWWD

In the past five matches, KTP have had poor form, winning twice and playing a goalless draw against KUPS, but the last two away matches have been disappointing losses for KTP. They will be hoping to bounce back here after the 4-2 Veikkausliiga loss in their previous game against FC Haka. In the first half, KTP won 1-2, but in the second half, the defence conceded three goals, and the game ended at full time at 4-2.

In the past two away games, KTP have not kept a clean sheet. Their defence have conceded six goals in their last five matches in the league.

When playing at home, KTP's two recent games have seen them go unbeaten, with a goalless draw against KUPS and a 2-1 win against Mariehamn.

HJK

LWDWW

HJK will be hoping to turn things around after seeing their unbeaten record end in a loss to KUPS. In the last six games, HJK have a record of four wins, a 1-1 draw against AC Oulu, and their last loss to KUPS, where the game at halftime ended in a 1-1 draw, but the second half saw a late 80-minute goal scored by Savolainen to see the game end 2-1.

In the past six games, HJK's defense has only conceded three goals, and they have scored 11 goals, with Radulovic being the top scorer in the league with five goals.

HJK, who sits in the first position having played six games with 13 points, is behind SJK, who sits in the second position with 11 points, and will be looking forward to getting all three points from the match and maintaining their position.
