The guests dominate the Finnish Championship this year. I’m counting on a game entirely dominated by Ilves.

Lahti: Form of the moment, latest results, statistics

Lahti has no remarkable performance this season of Veikkausliiga. The team is a clear pretender in the play-out and I do not think it has the power to finish in the top 6. The team’s form is very poor, with 3 defeats suffered in the previous 4 rounds, so we are talking about a totally out of the circuit. At the end of last month, Lahti was humiliated by KuPS with a score of 5-1. Neither this month brings any joy to the hosts, who lost to Inter Turku on July 5, 2-0 away.

Ilves: The form of the moment, the latest results, the statistics

Ilves wants this year to halt the supremacy of HJK ​​in Veikkausliiga. They occupy the first position, with 28 points, 2 more than KuPS. But the advantage of Ilves is that they have two matches in minus, so a victory today is needed. The guests come after an excellent series of games, managed to win the last 4 rounds. Previously, Ilves had an easy on-home mission after a 3-0 with SJK. In the defensive, the leader stays very well, winning only 7 goals so far.

Lahti vs Ilves Picks

If we take into account the win of the Mariehamn Cup, we can talk about 5 consecutive successes for leader Ilves. The team is on top of form and morale plays an extremely important role in such a duel. With a victory today, Ilves can increase the distance between the top two places to 5 points, so I expect to force it. Lahti is a team out of shape, which should not normally be a problem.

Our Prediction: Over 2.5

Odds: 2.20
