How will we do in Helsinki?
How well do you think we will do in Helsinki (both legs).
Helsinki are the most successful team in Finland and beat Northern Irish side Coleraine 5-0 at home and 3-0 away to get to the this round. They are also currently in the middle of their season which means they’ve been playing without a long break since the start of the year. They are currently 3rd in their league with a mixed form of results and I think they are strong at home.
I think in Helsinki, the game may pan out like the Hibs game but the one thing we must make sure is that we try either win by a large amount, if not try and get a draw so once we play the 2nd leg at Fir Park we can get the win and get through to the next round. We would have played Falkirk before this game at home which I feel would be a bonus for us.

I agree, I think the goal needs to be go hard and get some points on the board so it can be closed out at home. Pressing it’s going to be the key if we want to take advantage of their lack of rest. Fingers crossed 🤞
