Ilves Tempere will look to keep the pressure on league leaders KuPS as they host SJK Seinajoki at Tammela Stadium in Wednesday’s Veikkausliiga action.

In a top-of-the-table showdown, Ilves put on a masterful performance by sweeping KuPS aside with three unanswered goals, trimming the defiit to a single point behind the summit while still holding the advantage of a match in reserve.

In contrast, SJK Seinajoki managed to shake off their recent dip in form and solidify their spot in the top six thanks to a convincing 3-1 drubbing of Jaro on home soil, which left them sitting fifth on the table with a modest tally of 18 points to their name.

Ilves vs SJK Betting Tips : ILVES TO WIN

Although the gap between the two sides is just four points, Ilves will look to capitalize on the wave of confidence generated by their emphatic 3-0 dismantling of table-toppers KuPS, aiming to ramp up the pressure in the title race with another bold statement. A return to their home patch boosts their chances of grabbing another victory, as the Lynxes have built a near-flawless fortress at Tammela Stadion with four wins and one draw from five outings, so they’ll be eager to extend that impressive streak with another strong showing. At first glance, SJK’s recent run might suggest a team on the rise, but in truth, two of their three wins across the last four outings came in the Suomen Cup, while their weekend 3-1 thrashing of Jaro marked their first Veikkausliiga triumph after a two-month dry spell that included three stalemates and four defeats. Ilves have found their stride thanks to solid performances in all phases of the game, with their backline especially shining during a stretch of over 360 minutes without being breached, which sets the stage for what supporters hope will be another commanding outing in Wednesday’s clash.
