The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

How likely is it that both VPS and HJK score in their upcoming match? Based on our expert analysis, don't bet on it.

We expect to see a hard-fought match high on effort and intensity but low on actual goals, so our betting tip is to take the 'no' on the BTTS market.

👉 Our prediction is: HJK to win the 1st half

HJK will head in to face VPS with a tough task as the away side. Their recent results and performances have been far from impressive, but in our opinion, they are being a bit too underestimated.

We are tipping HJK to win the first half because we see decent value in their odds. They still possess enough quality to cause some concern against VPS, at least until half-time.
