Prediction: 3-2
Ilves
Buoyed by a thrilling Austrian Cup win (6-0) over Saalfelden, Austria Vienna will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Ilves in the Conference League second qualifying round, return leg. The Violets are likely to go all guns blazing at Ilves, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Stephan Helm rested several first-team regulars against Saalfelden, but the 41-year-old tactician is going to field the best possible side against Ilves.
The Veikkausliiga outfit, on the other hand, defeated Austria thanks to Roope Riski’s late goal in the first leg. As a result, the experienced forward should be recalled to the starting XI. Anyhow, home win should be considered as over the years the Violets have turned their Generali Arena into a real fortress. In their last away game in the national championship Ilves suffered a 4-3 loss to Haka.
