The visiting Ilves side should be favourites in this visit to RoPS, as the away team holds a 5 point advantage from their six league games this season.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Ilves form and stats

The seven points Ilves have gathered from their first three away trips is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. In general it has been a productive period now for Ilves as they haven't lost any of their last 13 games.
