The season is still fairly new and the Veikkausliiga table has to be read with caution. So far HJK find themselves in 3rd position and Ilves are placed 4th.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

4 - 4 - 7 with 14-22. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Ilves when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Ilves play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
