Honka vs Ilves Predictions and Betting Tips



Honka play hosts to Ilves in this Matchday 13 affair in the Finnish top flight. Although there are still no fans, the atmosphere at the Tapiola Urheilupuisto is still expected to bubble given the quality of the teams on show. Which one of the teams will secure the three points for themselves?

FC Honka are currently in 4th position after 12 round of games. However, among the top 6 teams, they rank lowest in terms of goals scored netting only 12 goals. January signing Dongou-Tsafack doesn't seem to have enough help up-front with the former Barcelona man netting 7 of his team's 12 league goals. Vasara will be looking towards their 2019 top scorer Borjas Gonzalez to chip in with the goals if they're to do better than that 3rd place finish last term.

They would be looking to bounce back from that shock loss in their previous game against HIFK. One solitary goal was all that separated both sides in a game where chances were few and far between.

FC Ilves are heading into this game unbeaten in three league games. They have managed to win the last two matches and will be looking at three wins in a row come Wednesday.

In their previous game against FC Haka, Mettala produced a man of the match performance netting a brace as his team ran out 2-0 winners. This makes him a man for the opposition defenders to look out for with the attacker looking to add to his 5 league goals.

Honka possible staring XI:

Murray; Aalto, Rasimus, Hatakka; Levanen, Voutilainen, Hervas, Savage, Gonzalez, Kaufmann, Dongou.

FC Ilves possible starting XI:

Hilander; Rautiola, Miettunen, Almen; Mantynen, Jair, Jarvinen, Aspergen; Myllymaki, Mommo., Mettala.

FC Honka vs FC Ilves Prediction: 1-0

Although both teams are heading into this game separated only by goal difference, we find it hard betting against the home team who have lost only one home game this season.
