HJK - Jaro preview HJK a bit better than I was hoping, but even with their best possible they are not great at the moment. HJK today: Wallen; Kansikas-Lahti-Lindström-Sumusalo; Zeneli-Okkonen-Perovuo-Savage; Pelvas-Pohjanpalo. Only Sorsa and Hakanpää completely out of squad today. No egyptian yet, striker Mäkelä out of starting lineup which is actually bad news for any Jaro backers today as he has been very undangerous this season after his unsuccesful spell in Australia. No defenders on bench except cb Moren, the rest are midfielders + gk and Mäkelä. Sumusalo is not that comfortable at right than as a left back but there are no options. Lahti has been hazardous in defense. The only midfielder who can be satisfied with his season so far is Zeneli on the left, and Pohjanpalo as only succesful striker. HJK have conceded at least once in every game since February if my memory serves me right, and that unlucky non-scoring team was MyPa in the league cup. Jaro; Kotenko; Banner-Vaganov-Vasiljev-Sara; Kronholm-Agyeman-Tahvanainen-Skrabb-Niang;Aalto. Unchanged from unsuccesful MyPa 2-0 loss away. Options from the bench for all departments, preferably I would like to see new signing DeFreitas who is rumoured to be very quick. In betting I have already taken Jaro +1.5. Odds have dropped but in Jaro´s latest game their odds rose hugely and same can happen anytime with HJK, so perhaps it is wisest to check out what the odds are closer to the kick-off. No opinion on match totals really but I believe in both teams scoring. No stream, but if you want to brush up your Swedish language Jaro homepage and Twitter account are producing live commentary, along with live stats they might help for possible live bets. Round review tomorrow as there is nothing else, on Wed and Thu cup round. Fixtures can be found for example at Soccerway. Lets have a nice week - although it is Monday!
