HJK Helsinki-vs-TPS Turku

HJK - TPS 45-28-27% HJK played the Finland Cup over the recent weeks and are in the quarter finals, beat 2nd div Sepsi 0-6 and 1st div leaders Viikingit 0-1 in local derby. HJKs home stadium pitch(artificial) is being renovated so this match takes place in local Töölön Pallokenttä(natural grass) so the home advantage should be bit smaller than usual. HJK is 2-3-3 and lie disappointingly 8th at the moment, TPS surprisingly and deservedly 4th with 4-2-3. TPS have been involved in many goal-frenzied games and won most, the 5-0 loss to Jaro was strange as TPS had total control on 1st half but were very unlucky, the result does not tell the whole truth. HJK have defenders Aho and Nylund injured and important defending midfielder Hakanpää in suspended. TPS have defender Tursas suspended and Surraco(fw) and Heinikangas(mf) uncertain. The teams have met 125 times, 48 wins for both and 29 draws. This should be an entertaining clash of young squads, TPS slightly underestimated and worth a bet if the price is over 3.70 2006-06-08 MyPa - HJK 0-0 2006-06-04 HJK - FC Haka 1-2 2006-06-01 VPS - HJK 2-2 2006-05-25 HJK - IFK Mariehamn 0-0 2006-05-18 FC Inter - HJK 0-1 2006-06-08 TPS - FC Lahti 1-0 2006-06-04 Jaro - TPS 5-0 2006-06-01 TPS - FC KooTeePee 7-0 2006-05-25 TPS - MyPa 0-0 2006-05-18 KuPS - TPS 0-5 2005-08-06 TPS - HJK 0-1 2005-05-19 HJK - TPS 3-1 2004-07-05 HJK - TPS 3-2 2003-07-12 HJK - TPS 1-1 2003-06-01 TPS - HJK 1-0 สนามหญ้าเทียมของ HJK กำลังปรับปรุง จึงต้องย้ายมาเตะสนามหญ้าธรรมชาติอีกแห่ง ทำให้ความได้เปรียบเรื่องสนามน้อยลง HJK ต่อแพงไป น่าลุ้นทีมรอง
