After comprehensive wins to reach the 2026-27 UEFA Conference League third qualifying round, HJK Helsinki and Motherwell face off to remain in Europe this season. The first leg match at the Bolt Arena on Thursday between the ‘Club’ and the ‘Steelmen’ is likely to be entertaining, with our prediction backing over 2.5 goals.
Both these sides started in the second qualifying round, and the winners of this two-legged tie advance to the play-off round, while the losers will have no European action this season.
HJK lost 3-0 away at SJK in the Finnish league game on Monday to fall further behind in the title race, 11 points behind leaders KuPS after 18 rounds. It was also their first loss after four consecutive wins as they look to avoid consecutive defeats for the first time since January.
The hosts won 8-0 on aggregate against Coleraine in the second qualifying round, which included a 5-0 home win, part of four consecutive wins here.
Motherwell won 2-1 away at Hibernian at the weekend to start their Scottish Premiership campaign on a high. That was preceded by a 5-0 aggregate win in the Conference League second qualifying round against Torshavn.
That included a 3-0 away win, and Motherwell have followed it up with another victory on the road at the weekend, boosting their confidence.
