HJK and KuPS have been clearly the two biggest clubs in Finland for several years, but this season there is a change as HJK continue as the only realistic title challenger meanwhile KuPS are currently just one of the rest, impossible to rank them exactly but there is not much difference in class between 2nd and 8th, and they are just one of them.

This a league cup semifinal, HJK have huge home advantage and they have shown very good form with their younger and hungrier team than in recent seasons, and even if they miss about half a dozen players due injuries today they still have full squad and bench to field with almost optimal starting lineup, if someone knows what it is as they rotated a lot all preseason.

In their latest league cup group phase game HJK lost 4-0 away at Inter Turku, but do not let that result fool you as they played it with their youth team of 17 year old reserves, and none of them belong to the first team. None.

There is a loss to SJK as well, but we can use Honka and Ilves as good benchmarks here. They are fighting for the same top positions after HJK in the table with KuPS, and Ilves destroyed KuPS already in the group phase match earlier this year.

The main reason for KuPS being weaker at the moment is that they lost their excellent manager Simo Valakari during the winter, and along with him several key players have also left, and there are now big holes in the defense, but also mentally the team is not the fighting unit it used to be, and in the attack, there is very little to offer. They are now signing new players weekly ahead of the league start in April and they might be good, but introducing new Africans at this time of year to play HJK under wintery conditions is more or less a shock, and there is nothing to expect from them. Centreback Ibrahim Cisse is the latest addition, and he is a classy player for this league, later in the summer.

Moren, Riski, Keskinen, Koavissi-Benissan, Miska Ylitolva, Hostikka, Radulovic and Paananen are the absent HJK players today, the only one I really miss is Keskinen who has a bright future ahead of him and might be sold to a bigger club already this summer.

HJK are 60% likely winners here.

2-0

几年来，HJK和up显然是芬兰最大的两家俱乐部，但本赛季发生了变化，HJK继续作为唯一现实的冠军挑战者，而up目前只是剩下的其中之一，不可能准确地排名，但第2名和第8名之间没有太大的区别，他们只是其中之一。

这是一场联赛杯半决赛，港港队拥有巨大的主场优势，他们表现出了非常好的状态，他们的年轻和饥饿的球队比最近几个赛季都要好，即使他们今天因为伤病错过了大约6名球员，他们仍然有完整的阵容和最佳的首发阵容，如果有人知道他们在季前赛中轮换了很多的话。

在他们最近的联赛杯小组赛中，香港jk客场0 - 4输给了国际图尔库，但不要被这个结果欺骗了，因为他们是用17岁的青年队替补出场的，他们都不属于一线队。一个也没有。

SJK也有损失，但我们可以用Honka和Ilves作为很好的基准。在HJK和up之后，他们正在争夺同样的榜首位置，伊尔维斯在今年早些时候的小组赛中已经摧毁了up。

目前up队较弱的主要原因是他们在冬季失去了出色的主教练西莫·瓦拉卡里，随着他的离去，几名关键球员也离开了，现在防守出现了很大的漏洞，但在精神上，这支球队也不再是以前的战斗团队，在进攻上，几乎没有什么可以提供的。他们现在每周都在4月联赛开始前签下新球员，他们可能很好，但在每年的这个时候引进新的非洲人在寒冷的条件下打HJK或多或少是令人震惊的，对他们没有什么期望。中后卫易卜拉欣·西塞是最新加入的，他是这个联赛的一名优秀球员，在夏天晚些时候。

莫伦、里斯基、凯斯基宁、科维希-贝尼桑、米斯卡·伊利托尔娃、霍斯蒂卡、拉杜洛维奇和帕纳宁都是今天缺席的港超球员，我唯一真正想念的是凯斯基宁，他有着光明的未来，今年夏天可能会被卖到更大的俱乐部。

港股60%的可能性是赢家。
