Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Ilves II & Ilves face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Finland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Ilves nor Ilves as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Ilves II form and stats
The home supporters witnessed a 1-1 draw vs Ilves in the Finland Cup last time out and are looking for a win here.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting VJS (0-4).Ilves form and stats
They also participated in Finland Cup last season. This ended in the group stage.The Veikkausliiga season is young and Ilves have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
It's another away fixture for the visitors, as they travelled to Ilves II in their previous outing. The Finland Cup fixture ended 1-1.
It was a Veikkausliiga defeat before that one as the away game against HJK wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Ilves have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away.
