Ilves will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 0-1 Veikkausliiga triumph over FC Haka.

The only scorer from Ilves was Tabi Manga (85').

A common theme in more recent Ilves games is the number of nil scores.

Taking their prior six matches before this one, in 5 of them a wager on BTTS would have been a loser. We will see if that trend will be sustained in this game.
