KTP
LLLLLD 📉
KTP will play in this match following on from a 2-2 Veikkausliiga stalemate vs VPS Vaasa.
For KTP, goals were scored by 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 go into this game after a 2-1 Veikkausliiga win over FF Jaro in their last match.
For Ilves, the scorers were Teemu Hytönen (15') and Matias Rale (22'). Kerfala Cissoko (81') was the scorer 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.
🤜🤛
Head to head
Delving into their past head to head meetings stretching back to 25/10/2015 tells us that these encounters have been disappointments for KTP. They’ve not managed to get themselves any wins whatsoever while Ilves have dominated them, finishing as winners in 67 per cent of those games where they have faced each other.
A sum of 11 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 2 from KTP and 9 for Ipa. That is an average goals per game value of 1.83.
The previous league fixture between the two was Veikkausliiga match day 2 on 22/09/2023 and the score 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.
