Match Preview

Ahead of our Mariehamn vs Ilves preview, the hosts are just two points off a finish that would leave them with a chance of qualifying for the Europa League, with Ilves capable of matching third-placed Lahti on points if they win their game in hand.

• IFK 2-1 JJK
• HJK 2-0 IFK
• IFK 5-0 Inter Turku
• VPS 0-0 IFK

The hosts have won four of their last five home games in the Veikkausliiga, with only Lahti capable of taking three points at the Wiklof Holding Arena, affecting our Mariehamn vs Ilves predictions as a result.

The visitors, meanwhile, have kept three clean sheets in their last four league games, but only one of those has come on the road. Ilves are much more comfortable on their own patch and should struggle away.

• Lahti 0-0 Ilves
• Ilves 1-0 SJK
• RoPS 1-0 Ilves
• Ilves 1-0 KuPS

Mariehamn vs Ilves Prediction and Betting Advice

With the home side having lost just two games in the league at home since August, the form book is firmly in their favour. Given that Ilves already have a game in hand, too, the pressure is really on their opposition to ensure that they don’t get leapfrogged in fourth this weekend.

According to our Mariehamn vs Ilves picks, although the latter are a tough proposition to face on their own patch, their away form leaves something to be desired, and the hosts should be able to take full advantage of that.
