HJK Helsinki and Eintracht Frankfurt will battle for three points on matchday four of the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday.
The hosts have not been in action since suffering a 6-0 drubbing away to Frankfurt in the reverse fixture a fortnight ago. Six different men got on the scoresheet to help the Germans cruise to the comfortable win.
Frankfurt, meanwhile, are coming into the game on the back of a 3-0 away drubbing of Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. Omar Marmoush set the visitors on their way to victory with a first-half brace while Nacho stepped off the bench to put the icing on the cake in the 82nd minute.
The Eagles will turn their focus back to the continent where they sit in second spot in Group G on six points. HJK are bottom of the standings with one point to show for their efforts in three games.

HJK vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
HJK recently won a 33rd Finnish league crown and have had enough time to prepare for this make-or-break fixture. Another defeat here would see them eliminated from the group stage with two games to spare.
Eintracht Frankfurt won the Europa League in 2022 and have been impressive in their maiden Conference League campaign. Dino Toppmoller's side have hit a purple patch in recent weeks, particularly in attack where they have scored 19 goals in their last six games in all competitions.
We are backing the visitors to continue their positive run with another multi-goal victory.
