Mariehamn vs Ilves Prediction & Betting tips
Finnish champions Mariehamn will not be able to defend his title this season. Currently it is not even enough for the club for a place in international business. The season in Finland is almost halfway around and if Mariehamn wants to stay in the European ranks, a victory has to come on Friday in the game against Ilves. The guest, on the other hand, is chasing chances on the international squares and with a threesome on Friday, Ilves would almost overtake Mariehamn.
Mariehamn :
Master Mariehamn’s record so far, with six victories, as many draws and four defeats, is acceptable. However, in the last season, the club had only six losses in their last two games, not least because of the Finnish champions with three points ahead of Helsinki. There can be no question of title defense, as the backlog to the top runners from Helsinki is currently eleven points. As currently fourth, Mariehamn can only concentrate on the ranks two and three, which still bring a European starting place. The residue with three or two points is also manageable.
For the game against Ilves, Mariehamn relies on his home strength. Because in the home stadium there was only a defeat next to two draws and already five victories. Mariehamn is now the second best home team. Lastly, the club celebrated three home games in series. Against Ilves, there have been good results on domestic lawns over the past two years. Beside three home runs there was once a goalless draw.
Ilves :
Opponent Ilves is currently even on a win more than Mariehamn, but has already lost twice. With two more draws, Ilves is ranked fifth, behind a point less than his opponent. Ilves, however, has denied a game less, so the club could be a good match for Mariehamn. The goal difference of Ilves is interesting: fifteen specially scored goals are sixteen conceded goals. Above all the last results of Ilves were curious.
