Ilves Preview – Can Ilves win back-to-back?
A 3-2 home win over KuPS last time out in the Veikkausliiga helped lift Ilves up into 5th place of the Finnish top flight and the hosts will be confident that they can register a second win on the trot on Friday night when they entertain KTP at their Ratinan Stadion.
Ilves have lost just one of their opening four matches of this new campaign which came in the form of a heavy 3-0 defeat at home to league leaders HJK, but wins against Oulu 2-0 away and the aforementioned victory against KuPS will give the hosts a boost here.
Ilves have lost just two of their last 12 matches overall and have lost just three of their last 15 matches at home as well, while also winning their last four meetings at home against KTP.
KTP Preview – Can KTP bounce back?
By contrast, KTP have dropped down to 9th place on the Veikkausliiga standings following a 2-1 defeat away from home at Inter Turku and the visitors have managed just one win so far in this season’s Veikkausliiga season.
KTP’s only success to date this term was a 3-0 win away at Haka but losses against Honka and Inter Turku suggest that this upcoming trip to Ilves may see the visitors struggling again here on Friday night.
The bigger picture shows that KTP have won just two of their last 12 matches overall while on the road, KTP have managed just two wins from their previous 14 games on their travels, failing to score in six of these.
