Ilves is a top club in Finland and is involved in a tough championship race with Inter Turku, while the club also played in the UEFA Conference League qualification, where they lost to AZ Alkmaar (4:3 at home and a 5:0 defeat away). So now Ilves will focus on the domestic championship, home matches bring more confidence - in Veikkausliiga the team scores an average of 2+ goals per game, but also concedes an average of more than 1 goal.
Gnistan in crisis: 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats in the last 5 rounds. Gnistan regularly concedes a lot of goals (2:4 defeats to HJK and 2:6 to KuPS), but is capable of scoring, even in away matches.
Both teams play open football with a vulnerable defense. Ilves is stronger and will attack, and Gnistan, despite its weakness, regularly scores. A productive match with an exchange of goals is expected.
Forecast: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 2.5" bet, odds 1.46
