Ilves
WDWWLW
Ilves will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following a 0-4 Veikkausliiga success vs FC Haka.
For Ilves, goals were scored by Roope Riski (21'), Maksim Stjopin (49') and Teemu Hytönen (90'). Niklas Friberg (88' Own goal) scored for FC Haka.
A common trait of more recent Ilves games is the number of results with a nil in them.
Taking their previous six matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would've lost. Nonetheless, we’ll just have to find out if that trend might persist in this upcoming game.

Prediction
For this match, we think that Ilves will most probably stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
At the other end, KTP will not find it easy getting on the scoresheet but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be being dangerous for periods.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Ilves by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
