The strongest football championship in Finland started in early April 2023 and will end in September. During this time, 12 participating teams will play 22 rounds, playing each other once at home and away. After the regular championship, the clubs are divided into the championship group and the struggle for survival. As a result, the champion will be the one who scores the most points at the end of the championship.
HJK, KuPS and Honka are the main contenders for the championship title, according to bookmakers. Having studied each of these teams, it is possible to determine with a high probability who is most likely to produce “gold”.
Toni Koskela’s guys are the reigning champions of Finland, but the team started the current championship not too confidently. At the same time, after seven games of the championship, HJK was at the top of the standings. At the same time, the team was only one point ahead of the second KuPS. Having scored four victories and drawn twice, the White-Blues lost only once at the KuPS away in the sixth round. It is worth noting that the team from Helsinki had the best attack in the league, which averaged two goals per 90 minutes of play.
HJK has a strong and experienced team that knows how to achieve the desired result. The capital team does not differ in stability, but if the White-Blues improve, then the Helsinki guys will be able to get the 32nd set of gold medals in the history of the team.
Jani Honkavaaara’s wards won silver medals last season, and now they will try to win the seventh league title in the club’s history. At the same time, the last time KuPS won the “gold” of the Veikkausliga was in 2019. This season, after seven rounds, the “yellow-blacks” are on the second line. One point behind the first HJK, Ari Lahti’s brainchild was two points ahead of the third SIK. However, the Canaries had two more games than the Kerhos.
KuPS was able to win four times, draw once and lose twice at the start of the tournament. The Canaries lost only to Inter Turku and Honka. Then the “yellow-blacks” beat Ilves, Mariehamn, HJK and AC Oulu in turn. The composition of the representatives of the city of Kuopio is competitive, but in terms of play it does not differ in stability. The brainchild of Ari Lahti is able to impose a fight on the leader of the championship, but for this it is necessary to regularly score credit points.
The team of Libra Vasara at the start of the championship is not stable. After six rounds, Honka is in fourth place, one point ahead of fifth Haka and two points behind third SIC. At the same time, the competitors of the inhabitants of “Tapiolan” have fewer fights. The Yellow-Blacks won two victories, lost the same number of times and drew three times. Possessing a fairly good defense, the brainchild of Ferid Ainetdin played disgustingly in attack, scoring less than one goal in 90 minutes of playing time.
Honka won bronze medals last season. At the same time, the “yellow-blacks” have never won the championship in history. It will be extremely difficult for Henry Aalto to break into the fight for the championship, but the team from the city of Espoo can compete for the top three.

Honka is an extremely unstable team and you should definitely not expect any special achievements from this club. KuPS will try to have a successful season, but the team does not shine in attack and it will be difficult to add to the Canaries. At the same time, the “yellow-blacks” will try to break into the title race. HJK is the most stable team in the Veikkausliga and in terms of play the White-Blues are able to improve. So the reigning champion of Finland from Helsinki, most likely, will get the championship again.
