Match preview
After last Thursday’s surprise victory in Slovenia, Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi are firmly in control of this tie.
A week ago, David Browne and Bojan Radulović got the goals as the Finnish champions left Stadion Ljudski vrt with a 2-0 victory.
The former becoming the first player from Papua New Guinea to ever score in a UEFA competition.
Back at Töölön jalkapallostadion, HJK are just looking to complete the job.
To date, the 31-times champions of Finland have only made it to three European group stages, although one of those did come in the Europa Conference League last season.
Maribor meanwhile have qualified for six group phases, the last of these coming in the Champions League in 2017.
If the Purples are to end that exile, they’ll probably have to do it in the Europa Conference League play-offs.
Awaiting them there are CFR Cluj or Shakhtyor Soligorsk.
HJK meanwhile can, almost, look forward to a Europa League play-off against Silkeborg.
