Ilves will look to overcome a one-goal deficit when they welcome Stjarnan to Tammela Stadium for the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round. The Finnish side head into the clash in good spirits after recording a hard-fought 1-0 league victory over Lahti, a match in which they allowed their opponents only four goal attempts. Ilves have been particularly impressive at home of late, winning three of their last four matches in front of their fans while averaging 2.75 goals per game and conceding just 0.75. There are no fresh injury concerns for the hosts, meaning the manager should have a full squad at his disposal as they chase a place in the next round.
Stjarnan, meanwhile, travel to Finland on the back of a humiliating 5-1 league defeat to Akranes, further highlighting their poor away form. The Icelandic outfit have failed to win any of their last six away matches, conceding an alarming 3.17 goals per game during that spell. Both Nokkvason and Waren are expected to return to the starting XI after being rested at the weekend, but the visitors will need a much-improved defensive display if they are to protect their slender aggregate advantage. Despite winning the first leg 1-0, Stjarnan are likely to come under sustained pressure from the opening whistle.
As Ilves are a real force to be reckoned with at home and Stjarnan struggle badly on the road, Home Win should be considered. Additionally, BTTS and Over 2.5 goals bets seem appealing as Ilves must attack, and the visitors have been leaking goals away from home.
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 30 July 2026 at 17:00.
