HIK Helsinki is the host in this cup semifinal. It comes just days after a heavy 0:4 home loss in the league to KuPS. Overall, there seems to be a problem with conceding goals against more serious opponents. Over 2.5 goals were scored in 9 of HIK's last 10 matches in all competitions. One of them was a 2:2 draw at home against the current opponent Ilves, but in the league.
Ilves drew 2:2 at home against SJK over the weekend, but has conceded quite a few goals in their recent visits. They have conceded a total of nine goals in just their last two away matches. In the league, they still have no wins and no clean sheets as guests this season.
Prediction: both teams to scoreBoth teams generally play high-scoring matches, and they don't seem stable defensively, so the likelihood of them conceding at least once in this match against each other seems high to me.
