Analysis:

Maribor will face HJK in the next Europa League Qualification encounter on Thursday.

Maribor

The current Slovenian champions Maribor have scored a total of 70 goals throughout this run. They had the fewest goals allowed and the most goals scored of any side in the competition. Maribor have gone on two different 3-match winning streaks while being unbeaten in 18 of their previous 23 road games.

HJK Helsinki

HJK are the the second-place finisher in the national competition. They are now on a protracted winless streak, and throughout this run, they have consistently conceded a large amount of goals. Additionally, they have been in an even worse situation throughout their recent away games.
