- Competition: Veikkausliiga
- Date: 2nd July, 2025
- Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CEST
- Venue: Tammela Stadium
Ilves have the chance to go top of the Veikkausliiga table if they beat FC KTP at Tammela Stadium on Wednesday.
The home side returned to winning ways in the last round when they took all three points with a 4-0 win over Haka. Ilves have won three of their last four league games and are desperate to win the Veikkausliiga title.
FC KTP, on the other hand, have no ambitions of winning the Veikkausliiga title at the end of the season as they are currently second-bottom in the table and fighting for survival. They have won just once in their last eight games in all competitions.
Ilves - FC KTP Betting Tips: Ilves (Asian Handicap -1.5)
Ilves are clearly superior to KTP going into this game, as the clear 5-0 victory in the first meeting this season proves. The hosts are currently neck-and-neck with Inter, KuPS, SJK and HJK in the battle for the Veikkausliiga title, with all five teams separated by just a few points. Ilves have won three of their last four league games, while KTP have only managed two wins in the entire season so far. The difference in quality between the two teams is huge, and based on the result of the first meeting, we expect Ilves to win by at least two goals (AH -1.5).
