As part of the first match of the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League, Slovenian Maribor will play with Finnish HJK. We bring to your attention the forecast for this meeting.
"Maribor"
The current champion of Slovenia looks pale at the start of this season. In the first three rounds of the national championship, Maribor earned only 3 points. In the Champions League qualification, Radovan Karanovich's team managed to pass the Belarusian Shakhtar" (0:0, 2:0), but after that she flew out from the Moldovan "Sheriff" (0:0, 0:1).
HICK
The Finnish Championship is in full swing, but HIC is not dominating there yet, sharing the lead with KuPS, while having one more match played. The Finns also started their European Cup campaign with the Champions League, where they barely passed the Latvian "RFSH" (0:1, 2:1, by pen. 5:4), after which they lost with a bang to the Czech "Victoria" (1:2, 0:5).
Statistics and figures
- "Maribor" has won only 1 match out of the last five, losing three times;
- "Maribor" has not scored in three of the last five matches;
- "Maribor" lost only 1 match out of the last ten at home, but also won only four times;
- HIC has a 7-match winless streak (4 wins + 3 losses);
- In five of HICK's last six matches, the Total bet was more than 2.5;
- HICK has won only 1 match out of the last seven away matches, losing three times.
Forecasts
Maribor has serious problems with positional attacks at the start of this season. HIC in Slovenia will obviously play defensively, as the Helsinki team itself scores very irregularly on the road. In this meeting, a bet on a small number of goals scored suggests itself.
