Ilves vs SJK Predictions

• Ilves have won their last four home matches.
• The hosts have also clinched seven points from their last three league games.
• SJK are without a win in their last nine visits to this venue, losing five.
• The away side have also lost two of their last three league starts on the road.

Ilves to prolong winning home run

SJK were narrow 1-0 winners in June’s reverse fixture, but Ilves are fancied to turn the tables this Friday as they seek a fifth consecutive home victory.

There’s currently nothing to split these two teams in the table with both sitting mid-rank on 17 points, while the head to head is also level at 12 wins apiece and five draws from 29 previous encounters.

SJK haven’t won in their last nine visits to Tampere though, losing five, and they look up against it once more here with Ilves in good form overall and flying at home.

Jarkko Wiss’ charges have claimed seven points from their last three Veikkausliiga matches, and they’ve won their last four outing at Tammela Stadium.

With SJK losing two of their last three on the road and seeking to break a lengthy winless run at this venue, Ilves are the clear selection this Friday at a decent price and we’re also going for a 2-1 correct score, as the visitors have netted in all but one of their five away trips this term.
