Ilves vs HJK Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Ilves vs HJK will be a massive game between two fierce rivals. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

HJK remain the best team in the league and we have high expectations every time they play against each other. Almost all h2h games between them ended with over 2.5 goals in recent years. At least the last five in a row ended with at least three goals at full time and we typically see goals from both sides too. Our opening Ilves vs HJK prediction is the over 2.5 goals but you can also opt for BTTS.

Match Result Prediction: HJK to Win

We think that HJK will find a way to win this game like they usually do. They have five wins in a row against ILves even though the hosts typically score a goal in almost all h2h games. They have also been quite good since the start of the season too but HJK remain the top side in the league. They have a single defeat in the last ten games in all tournaments and seven wins.

Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to HJK

We think that this match will have a huge scoreline and we expect to see a big result in favor of HJK. Ilves have been good but will they handle HJK? We think not. When we compare the Ilves vs HJK line ups, the visitors obviously have the best squad in the league and they have an advantage against every single opponent they face.

Ilves vs HJK Team Previews

Ilves Preview

Ilves are a curious team that rarely gets a chance to win anything. They have only ever been a contender for a couple of seasons in the last decades and they typically finish the season in the bottom half of the table. We think that this season will not be theirs once again but they may surprise some of the contenders at home.

HJK Preview

HJK are the biggest club in Finland and the main contender for the title every single season. They are the current champions and well on the way to a new trophy this year. Almost all of their main squad players are in the National Team and they have the strongest team, with the best attack and one of the three best defenses.
