Match Preview

Ahead of our Ilves vs SJK betting tips and betting advice, the home side have won just once in their last four league fixtures – that solitary victory came in a narrow 1-0 triumph over second from bottom HIFK. Ilves home form has been their biggest disappointment – only bottom club JJK have a worse home record so far this season.

• JJK 3-1 Ilves
• Ilves 2-4 PS Kemi
• HIFK 0-1 Ilves
• Lahti 0-0 Ilves

Coming into our Ilves vs SJK predictions, the away side have only picked up one win in six outings. Only bottom side JJK have conceded more goals than SJK this season, though the 6-0 hammering at the hands of runaway leaders HJK a few weeks ago did nothing to help their goal difference or confidence.

• HJK 6-0 SJK
• SJK 0-3 Inter Turku
• HIFK 0-2 SJK
• SJK 0-1 VPS

Ilves vs SJK Prediction and Betting Advice

When the sides last met in the Finnish Veikkausliiga in the middle of April, Ilves managed to leave SJK with all three points thanks to a 2-1 victory. With that result playing out so recently, it is bound to affect our Ilves vs SJK picks and prediction. Although Ilves more recent form is a cause for concern, their haul of four points from their last two should instil enough belief in their players to force their way past a porous SJK defence. I’m going for a narrow home win in this one.
