Is it so hard because of the hostile anti-HJK atmosphere making it a bit like visiting Bilbao for Real Madrid?
Partly due to that, but also that Lahti has played the recent encounters really well.

Are Rovaniemi serious rivals for the league title or is it under full control at the moment? |

A month ago I would've said definitely NO, but now when coach Lehkosuo has been under fire after the Ljubljana fiasco, a couple of poor results can mean a tough time (Lahti first, then RoPS home).
Still, RoPS should not be in 2nd place, before the season they were guessed to place like 7th or 8th. But they just seem going.
Anyway, HJK not getting the title would be a massive disaster.

Eden Hazard is by far the most overrated player in the Premier League.

Lahti - HJK 0-2
Rovaniemi - Kuopio 1-1
Have not seen a Lahti this weak in ages. So a win against Rovaniemi would likely be the final blow which decides the title.

Eden Hazard is by far the most overrated player in the Premier League. Good player, but not nearly the Ronaldo/Zidane type player some are equating him to be. I'd rate him on the same level as De Bruyne or David Silva |

I'd rate him on the same level as De Bruyne or David Silva He'll have a few very good games then disappear for the next 4/5 months. I'd rate both David Silva and De Bruyne ahead of him. He scored an average hat-trick against Cardiff and suddenly he's the next Ronaldo apparently  |

HJK - Inter Turku yesterday (3-0) has raised questions and an investigation about some players possibly involved in match fixing.  I suspected foul play already during the match, so the allegations are completely justified.
The FA have asked the police to investigate, so they must have some real doubts.
Well, we haven't had any match-fixing in a couple of years. Part and parcel of a 3rd world football league. |

Shaqiri MOTM yesterday, looking like a bargain so far.

Modric won POTY award! He was very deserving, but I think Messi was the better player this year. Think part of it was voter fatigue, and part of it was Croatia having a rediculous WC. Either way, congratulations

HJK awarded grassroots gold
HJK Helsinki have been named as Best Club following the announcement of the 2018 UEFA Grassroots Awards.
HJK Helsinki have long been Finland's most successful professional football club, with 28 league titles to their name, but now their work in another sector has also been acknowledged with the gold award for Best Club in the 2018 UEFA Grassroots Awards.
An increased focus on grassroots activities for boys and girls of all abilities from the age of three upwards has seen the number of players at the club grow by over 600 during the past three years. HJK now have 3,100 registered players, plus over 1,000 children involved in football schools across the city and 500 more in post-school afternoon activities.
"I would like to congratulate HJK Helsinki for its fantastic grassroots work," said Aleksander Čeferin. "As a result of their efforts, boys and girls of all ages and abilities are relishing the chance to play football and being given the opportunity to learn to love the game, as well as make friends and pursue active and healthy lives."
Fucken!

Wrexham's Harry Wilson scored the most ridiculous free kick against Man United last night. He's still a Liverpool player, I'd love to see Klopp give him a chance, he's better than Henderson  |

Is there any specific monetary incentive in Finland as far as prize money go? In Sweden you'd get a few hundred thousand euros for winning the league, which is set to rise with the new TV deal coming soon. Will definitely rise above the 1 million euro mark then. |

Peanuts. I think it's like €50-75k. For the TV rights we are talking about around the same sum.
In Finland the only method to make any money is from UEFA or selling players.
