In the last game, the home team won the VPS by 1×2: the goals of the team were scored by Ala-Myllymaki and Miettunen. We believe that Jarkko Wiss will maintain the tactical scheme of the last four games, that is, the 4-3-3, in which he benefits from a more supported style of play and successive offensive transitions through the flanks: Jarvinen and Mettala are Fastest and most dangerous players on the attack front. On the other hand, Ala-Myllymaki is the best artilleryman of Ilves, with 6 goals scored. There are no important absences for this game.
Seinäjoen JK:
The away team is currently in the 6 th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 5 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against HIFK, by (1-0).

They have not been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 13 matches in this competition, they have only 1 comeback in the 5 matches they have conceded the first goal. In the last 8 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (31′-45 ‘); He suffered 3 of his 7 goals between the minutes (76’-90 ‘).
The SJK arrives at this game motivated, after winning by 2-1 to Inter Turku, returning to the victories after the defeat against HIFK: Hetemaj and Oliynyk marked the goals of the team. In general, the visiting team is in a very doubtful phase, since they have only won 3 of their last 10 games in the competition. Outside the home, the SJK won 2 of its 7 games. Being aware of these difficulties to play as a visitor, the SJK should be more cautious, benefiting the defensive organization and the transitions by the flanks: Billy Ions is a very fast and strong athlete in the transport of the ball to the attack. On the other hand, Danys Oliynyk is the best SJK gunner, with 6 goals scored. For this game the visiting coach can count on all the players.
