THE PREDICTION
This will be the second edition of the Helsinki derby for hosts HIFK and HJK after the latter won a 2-2 reverse of this fixture in the group stages back in February. Since then, HIFK beat RoPS 0-1 away from home last Sunday to reach the quarter-finals whilst last season’s Veikkausliiga champions HJK thrashed KTP to the tune of 6-1. Both sides have scored in each of their Suomen Cup matches so far but HJK have the clear advantage in this fixture having won five of the last six clashes between the two, though the last match at HIFK ended a barn-storming 4-3 for the hosts. Take both teams to score here and reigning champions HJK to qualify for the semi-finals.
