It is clear that, although they rarely do not score, Ilves suffer from defensive irregularity. Despite being a team that fights among the best in Finland, it has the worst defense in the competition along with TPS Turku, the eleventh classified. The team is organized by the Brazilian Jair in midfield and is commanded offensively by Lauri Ala-Myllymaki, the team’s top scorer, but the one who has yet to find his best level this year.

In 8 games in this competition, he never got the comeback in the 5 games in which he suffered the first goal.

At the beginning of this year, for the Finnish Cup, SJK lost precisely to Ilves, also away from home, by the score of 0x3. However, the visiting team may try to take advantage of the weak rival defense to surprise in this match and thus, who knows, score at least 1 point. If they want to be among the best in Finland again, SJK need to find their balance again, but they will have a difficult task against Ilves Tampere.
