Further markets to consider
Beyond the main tip at the top of the page, two more selections stand out for this match-up:
👉 Prediction: VPS win or Draw
We have strong confidence in VPS’s ability to leave Bolt Arena with at least a point, making them a smart pick on the Double Chance market.
VPS has consistently put in solid away performances, while HJK’s form has been far from convincing. An outright win might be a big ask, but the added security in case of a draw makes this bet interesting.
👉 Prediction: HJK to Win the First Half
We expect the half-time market to offer great value in HJK vs VPS.
HJK has often started strong, particularly at home, where they dominate possession early. This makes them an excellent pick to lead at half-time.
