Ilves vs TPS prediction 13.06.2026 | Veikkausliiga

Ilves enters this one on the back of a resounding 5-2 victory against FC Lahti in the Finnish Cup quarterfinals.

The Lynxes boast four wins from their last five matches across all competitions, but their only recent failure, a humiliating 5-0 league defeat to that exact same Lahti side, heavily dampens confidence.

Joni Lehtonen’s men will rely on their resilient home form at Tammelan Stadion, where they have secured three victories in a row.

Key forward Teemu Hytönen, who leads the squad with four goal contributions this season, will be expected to guide the offense.

However, the team faces a notable absentee in midfielder Jardell Kanga, who remains out of the lineup due to form and rotational updates.

TPS enters this one on the back of a poor run, having suffered three defeats in their last four matches across all competitions.

The Black and Whites look completely out of form despite a narrow 1-0 win over VPS, as previous losses to Inter Turku and AC Oulu severely dented team morale.

Ivan Piñol’s men will desperately seek to fix their traveling struggles, currently enduring a difficult five-match run without a win on the road.

Key forward Theodoros Tsirigotis, who leads the line with an impressive three-goal contribution this season, remains the primary threat tasked with breaking their away slump.

However, the visitors face a noticeable absentee from the squad, with midfielder Marius Könkkola completely ruled out due to ongoing fitness issues.
