Prediction of VPS vs Ilves Score
After five consecutive defeats, the VPS recorded the first point. They played six matches at home and in that match they only scored six times. The average number of goals is 2.5. In the last six meetings that took place in Vaasa, both VPS and Ilves recorded two wins and two draws. That looks promising for the VPS but their last victory over Ilves came three years ago. Ilves scored the same number of goals in both rounds. In the previous round, they destroyed the KPV 4-2 and Lauri Ala-Myllymaki scored a hat trick. Ilves has the best defense in the league. They only conceded six goals in total. On the other hand, their attackers are not the most efficient. All in all, VPS is oppressed and anything but their defeat will be a big surprise.
Correct Score Prediction: 0 - 2
