Finland Veikkausliga-Ilves Tampere VS IFK Mariehamn

 

 

Ilves has been solid this year. They have just three wins in 14 league rounds, but with seven draws, that's more than enough to be a mid-table side. Ilves have lost only one of the last 12 matches, including cup matches. Last weekend, Ilves played 0-0 away against KTP.

 

Mariehamn is an early candidate for relegation. They only have ten points after 14 rounds, so Mariehamn is in last place so far. However, recently, they are playing better. Mariehamn were four games without defeat in a row until the last game, when they lost 2-1 at home to Oulu. The home team took the lead, but a red card late in the first half ruined their chances.

 

Ilves is usually a low scoring team. They scored 2.5 goals in just four of 14 league games.

 

Mariehamn has only conceded five goals in the last six matches. Also, five of those six games were under 2.5 goals scored.
