Ilves vs HIFK Prediction & Tips
After 3 draws and 7 defeats, the visiting team is on the 12th position, having gained 3 points. In the last match, it lost with VPS at home by (1-5), after in the previous match it lost at home, in a match against Honka, by (1-2). This is a team that curiously presents more positive results away than at home, as in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats as visitors, with a total of 26 goals scored and 15 conceded. On the other hand, at home, they have 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats, with a total of 13 goals scored and 29 conceded. Their last game as visitor was for the Suomen Cup and ended with a draw by (1-1) after extra time against Mariehamn. In the last 4 away league games HIFK registers 2 draws and 2 defeats, taking 2 points out of a possible 12.
For this competition they haven’t won since 10 games. The team hasn’t been very strong defensively, as it has always conceded goals in the last 10 games, but its attack has scored with regularity, as it has managed to score in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. In 10 games in this competition, it has never managed to turn the score around in the 5 games in which it has conceded the first goal. In the last 20 away games for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 15 goals between the minutes (76′-90′).
Helsingfors IFK arrive for this match demotivated after having lost once again, this time with a 1-5 home defeat to VPS, thus suffering their third straight defeat in the competition, and thus sinking further and further into the bottom of the league. HIFK are in a difficult situation in the Veikkausliiga at the moment: with 3 draws and 7 losses in the 10 matches played, they are the last (12th) on the league table, being 4 points behind the penultimate (11th) placed team. Helsingfors IFK still haven’t won a single game in the championship. The expectation, playing away, is to get at least a draw against Ilves, in this round, but knows that the favouritism is all on the side of the home team.
