Ilves go into this fixture after a 1-1 Veikkausliiga drawn match vs HJK.

In that game, Ilves had 45% possession and 2 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. At the other end, HJK had 2 shots on goal with 1 on target. Luis Carlos Murillo (2' Own goal) and Valtteri Moren (14') scored for HJK.

Their latest results really do illustrate the point that there has been much resilience in the Ilves rearguard. Ilves have given the opposition little, seeing the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their past 6 clashes standing at 2. In any event, we will just have to wait and see if the trend shall be replicated in this next match or not.

• have not won against HJK when playing them at home in the last 2 league games.
• have left without a victory over HJK in their last 4 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 5 home league matches.

📋 Team News: Ilves

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Ilves manager Toni Kallio to be concerned with due to a largely intact set of players. Kalle Katz (Ill) is sidelined.

ℹ️ Team News: HJK

HJK manager Toni Koskela has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Atomu Tanaka (Knee Injury) and Jakob Tannander (Finger Injury) can’t be considered.

🔮 Prediction

Our feeling is that Ilves will surely be able to score a goal against this HJK outfit, although one goal might not quite be good enough.

We are therefore anticipating a very close game with a 1-2 advantage for HJK by the conclusion of the game. It really should be an interesting one.
