⚡ Prediction
Our assessment is that Ilves will most probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
However, AC Oulu could well struggle getting on the scoresheet although we do see them being dangerous at times.
We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for Ilves when all’s said and done.
