Prediction
In our opinion, IFK Mariehamn might well have a job on their hands to see themselves scoring against this Ilves side who we think should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
We therefore fancy a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 win for Ilves after 90 minutes.
Should be an interesting one.
