Editor's Pick
A home win raises no questions - the only intrigue is whether there will be a heavy defeat. At home against Mariehamn, Ilves kept it to two goals or fewer in seven consecutive head-to-head meetings, and overall on their own ground they held that mark in 7 of their last 8 league matches.
Add to that the second leg against Rijeka on Thursday, where their place in the Conference League play-off round will be decided. Ilves will be saving their energy for that one, which means they will score just enough to get the result. The bet is Ilves to score under 2.5 goals. Predicted score - 2:0.
