IFK team overview
IFK head coach Gary Williams could make some changes to his selection after last weekend´s 1:0 defeat against Oulu. Jelle van der Heyden and Olawale Muhamed Tehe are among those who could earn a recall to the first XI.

Prediction
Both sides have struggled defensively, and with both desperate to break their winless runs, we should see an open encounter with plenty of chances at both ends.
The home side return to action now winless in seven matches after a 2:2 draw with Jaro last week. Despite their miserable form, the hosts remain inside the top half of the division, but now 17 points behind league leaders Inter.
VPS have been a reliable choice for goal chasers in recent weeks, with both teams scoring in five of their last six matches. That trend also extends to this fixture historically, with five of their last six meetings finishing with both teams on the scoresheet.
Jussi Nuorela’s men now face a similarly inconsistent IFK side that has failed to win any of their last five games, and just one of their last nine. The visitors come into this contest after a narrow 1:0 loss to Oulu last time out, but prior to that, BTTS landed in seven of their nine previous matches.
This matchup has a track record of goals, with just one of the last nine encounters ending with fewer than three goals, and both teams scoring, and similar outcomes could be on the cards at Elisa Stadion this weekend.
I expect an end-to-end contest where both teams should get on the scoresheet.
