Ilves vs Lahti Predictions

• Ilves’ nine league matches have averaged three goals per 90 minutes
• There have been 27 goals in Lahti’s 10 Veikkausliiga outings
• Three of Ilves’ four home games have contained at least three goals

Can Ilves maintain strong home form?

Three successive wins at Tammelan Stadion have boosted Ilves’ league position, with two of those matches containing at least three goals.

Indeed, there have been 13 strikes in their four home games so far, while their 11 outings in all competitions and at all venues have provided 35 goals, an average in excess of three per 90 minutes.

Toni Kallio’s side have only failed to score once in nine Veikkausliiga clashes, a 0-0 draw at Honka, with seven matches containing three or more goals.

Lahti on a bad run

Lahti’s games also contain plenty of goals, except, unlike Ilves, they are conceding them instead of scoring, with a brittle defence already breached 16 times in 10 games.

Ilir Zeneli’s side, who have won just twice all season, have played five away matches, with three of them containing at least three goals.

Indeed, there have been in excess of two strikes in eight of their 14 outings in all competitions, but they are tough to beat on the road, losing just once on their travels compared to four defeats from five at home.

I predict there will be three or more goals in this game, but it is quite tough to call a winner, with a 2-2 draw my correct score prediction.
