JJK Jyvaskyla vs Ilves Match Preview and Betting Tips: Ilves to Prove Too Strong for Hosts

It may be early days in the Veikkausliiga, but JJK Jyvaskyla already find themselves rooted to the foot of the table, five points adrift of the side above them. Ilves have had a solid if unspectacular start to their campaign, but a win in the Harjun Stadion on Saturday should be relatively routine.

Match Preview

Ahead of our JJK Jyvaskyla vs Ilves preview, the home side are on a run of four straight defeats, in fact, they haven’t managed a solitary win from their opening eight Veikkausliiga games. JJK have conceded a staggering twenty goals in those eight fixtures and they are already strong favourites for the drop.

  • JJK Jyvaskyla 1-1 Inter Turku
  • SJK 1-0 JJK Jyvaskyla
  • JJK Jyvaskyla 1-4 VPS
  • RoPS 2-1 JJK Jyvaskyla

Ilves have won two and lost two of their previous quartet of league games heading into our JJK Jyvaskyla vs Ilves predictions, and their recent form is mirrored by their overall league record where they have won half of their eight fixtures to date. They have won three of their last four on the road, a run that will please manager Jarkko Wiss greatly.

Ilves have only found the back of the net nine times so far in the Veikkausliiga, though they will be confident of adding to that underwhelming league tally on Saturday.

  • Ilves 3-0 Mariehamn
  • HJK 2-0 Ilves
  • Ilves 0-2 Inter Turku
  • VPS 0-2 Ilves

JJK Jyvaskyla vs Ilves Prediction and Betting Advice

The home side go into every game as underdogs, a fact that influences our JJK Jyvaskyla vs Ilves tips considerably. JJK are without a doubt the weakest side in the Veikkausliiga and anything other than an away win would be something of a shock. Ilves excellent away results this season also have to be taken into account.

I can’t look beyond an away win for Ilves on Saturday. JJK Jyvaskyla cannot find a win from anywhere and the away side should triumph with a comfortable victory.
