Real Betis will host HJK at the Benito Villamarin Stadium in their final Group C game of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday (November 3).
HJK, who have picked up only one point, will seek to end their three-game losing streak and bow out of the competition on a high.
Betis, meanwhile, returned to winning ways in La Liga, seeing off Real Sociedad 2-0 away at the weekend.
Before that, they were on a run of four away games without a win in the league, losing and drawing twice apiece.
Betis will turn their attention to the Europa League, where they have enjoyed an unbeaten campaign, sitting atop Group C with 13 points from five games.
Meanwhile, HJK failed to arrest their slump, as they fell to a 2-1 loss against AS Roma on matchday five. The Finnish outfit have now lost their last three games, scoring once and conceding five.
HJK are rock bottom in Group C of the Europa League after managing just one point from five games.
