Europa Draw FK Vetra or HJK Helsinki

Europa League Fulham
by Khadrim (U9547062) 17 July 2009
comment on the article

So we play either FK Vetra or HJK Helsinki.
Helsinki lead the first leg 1-0 and have an away goal. So likely we will face them.

Don't know anything about these teams but it looks a good draw. What are people's thoughts?

It's good to have the home leg last.

hello, Ipswich fan in Peace. I keep an eye on HJK results as I saw them play last summer, and hope they make it through the second leg so I can watch them at your place. The level of football they play is on par with a decent league 1 side. Fulham should win fairly comfortably.

Roy will know about Helsinki. He managed Finland so he will know how good they are. I would be fairly confident of winning.

One thing I like about the europa league is the opportunity to play teams you've never even seen play before.

Obviously Hodgson will have watched them, but it's interesting for fans to see first hand an example of the level of football in different leagues and countries.

Good luck!!

You should update your knowledge. Last summer is long gone and "Klubi" (=HJK) has grown since. I'm expecting two good games and lots of fun for fans of both teams... and Klubi will prevail!

I'm sorry for ever going to see the utter humiliation of HJK loosing against Vetra. I have never seen such poor playing. Ever!
We'll be back next year with a new coach. I miss seeing Fulham in Helsinki. Vetra is no challenge...have fun!
