KTP
LLLLLD ⚠
KTP head into this fixture coming off the back of a 2-2 Veikkausliiga stalemate against VPS Vaasa.
For KTP, the goalscorers were Aleksi Tarvonen (34') and Mikko Sumusalo (65'). Maissa Fall (39') and Tyler Reid (95') scored for VPS Vaasa.
KTP have really been misfiring of late. Their goals record equals just 2 versus opposition teams during the course of their previous six outings. In those games, KTP have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them total 12.
Coming into this fixture, KTP are without a win at home for the past 8 league matches. Something needs to change.
Ilves
WWWWWW 🎯
Ilves will go into the encounter after a 2-1 Veikkausliiga win with the defeat of FF Jaro in their previous outing.
For Ilves, goals were scored by Teemu Hytönen (15') and Matias Rale (22'). Kerfala Cissoko (81') scored for FF Jaro.
A series of steadfast displays by the Ilves defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 3 from their last 6 fixtures combined. Over that same time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 13. That trend won’t necessarily follow through into this game, however.

A quick look at their past head to head results going back to 25/10/2015 tells us that these encounters have not been fruitful for KTP. They have not been able to come away with any victories at all while Ilves have been dominant against them, beating them in 67 per cent of those match-ups.
A sum of 11 goals were produced between them in these games, with 2 from KTP and 9 coming from Ipa. The average goals per game has been 1.83.
The last league contest between the two was Veikkausliiga match day 2 on 22/09/2023 when it finished KTP 0-3 Ilves.
The match was refereed by Oliver Reitala.

Prediction
We believe that KTP have it within them to breach the defence of this Ilves lineup, although one goal likely won’t be enough to avoid a loss.
We are therefore anticipating a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 winning margin for Ilves at the end of the 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
