Ilves - Mariehamn. Forecast and announcement for the match of the championship of Finland

In recent years, the club has shown good results, both for its modest level. In 2017, we managed to get to 3rd place, and this is the best result in the 80s of the last century. And after 2 years they took the Finnish Cup, for the 3rd time in history, after a pause of almost 3 decades. But last season brought 34 points after 27 matches and 9th place - as a result, there was no need to fight for survival or a chance to compete for a ticket to the Conference League. At about the same level, below the equator and above the departure zone, lynxes hang out now. Moreover, the lion's share of the meetings end in a draw since the end of spring. Suffice it to say that, having won against the VPS and lost to Inter (Turk), in the remaining 6 extreme matches the team shared points with opponents. So, in July it was 1:1 at home with SIK and 0:0 away against KTP.

Mariehamn

A team from the Åland Islands has existed since 1919. But, dominating the regional tournaments of their native archipelago, the green-whites were able to give out only 1 really strong segment, when in 2015 they managed to take the 1st trophy, in the form of a cup, and then, a year later, the championship. Both titles remain the only ones - in 2019 it was possible to reach the final again, but everything ended in defeat there. And last season brought only 10th place in the final standings of the Veikkausliga. Well, now this is the main disappointment of the season. June managed to end away 1:0, and with the contender for the title, KuPS, but then, this month, there were only 0:0 at home with KTP and 1:2 with Oulu. As a result, with 10 points, this team is at the very bottom of the standings.

head-to-head statistics

Ilves had 3 wins in a row. But at the end of last year, Mariehamn took the victory, and in April they were 1:1.

Forecast

Bookmakers consider Ilves the clear favorite of the fight, which takes the main outsider at home. But the hosts do not shine either, so we take a bet on the total under 2.5 goals (odds - 1.75).
