Ilves form and stats

The story so far in the Veikkausliiga for Ilves at their home stadium (Tammelan Stadion) is 2 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats. With seven home Veikkausliiga games in a row without a win, the Ilves fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.

Ilves are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 395 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Pennanen).

Ilves's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus VPS (placed 5th).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at HJK.

This is expected to be a close game, with Ilves perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ilves as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Ilves has won 3 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Trench warfare? In this club's last 12 league games, 10 have contained two goals or less.
