Prediction: 1-0
Ilves
Helsinki will be aiming to stay in the title race when they face Ilves at their Bolt Arena. HJK head into the match following the Champions League qualifier against Larne, meaning that tired legs could prove to be a big problem for the home side. Keep in mind that boss Toni Koskela could rest several first-team regulars against Ilves.
Toni Kallio’s troops, on the other hand, have been impressive at the back of late, with the team keeping a clean sheet in each of their last three games in all competitions. Ilves are likely to adopt yet another defence-minded approach in Saturday’s clash, but preventing HJK from scoring at Bolt Arena is easier said than done. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to the Finnish capital. You should know that Helsinki defeated Ilves 2-1 in their last meeting at the venue.
