Ilves (home)
- Joni Lehtonen's Ilves Tampere have been in excellent form of late, with a 3-4-3 system that is proactive, high-tempo and suited to their energetic players.
- 4 wins from the last 5, including a 1-0 victory in their most recent Veikkausliiga matchup, have seen them move up to 7th in the Finnish top-flight with 12 points from 11 games.
- They boast a formidable home record of 4 wins in a row in all competitions, including a 5-2 win in the cup.
FF Jaro (away)
- FF Jaro have won 1 and lost 4 of their last 5, including consecutive defeats to HJK and AC Oulu.
- Jaro's flexible 4-3-3 system under Jens Karlsson has seen them score, but rarely win, with 2 goals in their 6 away league matches.
Head-to-Head
Ilves have won all 4 of the last H2H meetings between the teams across all competitions.
Key Players
- Teemu Hytoenen tops the Veikkausliiga 2026 scoring charts for Ilves with 4 goals, and can be relied on to get on the scoresheet in Finland.
- Meanwhile, Jaro's top scorer this season is Herman Sjoegrell with 3, so Jardell Kanga's 3 goals in Ilves's last 5 matchups will be crucial for them here.
Betting Insights
Ilves are favorites to win at 1.71 , which is about right considering their superb home record and Jaro's struggles on the road.
