Game week two of the Veikkausliiga season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the TPS - Ilves preview:

TPS form and stats

TPS have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Stress levels are on the rise for TPS's attacking players as they have now played 234 minutes without scoring in a league game. E. Ahde was their last goal scorer.

No payout for TPS in their previous match, an away game at SJK that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that match was a Finland Cup defeat to HJK (0-1).

Last season, TPS's league statistics were 16 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses, resulting in a 2nd position in the Ykkonen. Over these 27 matches they scored 45 goals and conceded 23. Playing at home last season TPS managed 8-3-3 (win-draw-lost) with 25 goals and 14 conceded.

Ilves form and stats

Impressive finishing from E. Tamminen, L. Ala-Myllymäki, T. Fofana and Jair secured the home win 4-3 against Mariehamn in their previous game. A 0-1 loss hosting Haka before that.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Mariehamn was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? E. Tamminen came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Mariehamn last time out, making the manager J. Wiss feel like a tactical genius.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Veikkausliiga trip to Inter Turku.

Let's have a look at how Ilves performed last season in the Veikkausliiga: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 11 victories, 7 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 29 and conceded 18 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 2 and lost 2 with 14/8 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for TPS, zero draws and four wins for Ilves. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
