Ilves vs Ekenäs Prediction: An easy win for Ipa

Ekenäs hope to end their struggle when they travel to the Ratinan Stadion on Saturday to face Ilves. Ekenäs have lost their last six games and have no win over Ilves in their history. Can they get something out of this game? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

After a 3-game unbeaten run, Ilves suffered back-to-back defeats, first a 3-1 loss to Djurgarden and most recently a 1-0 loss to KuPS. They remain unbeaten in their last six home games in all competitions, where they saw four wins and two draws. They sit 3rd on the table with 35 points in 20 games, scoring 39 goals and conceding 24. However, Felipe Aspegren is ruled out due to a knee injury.

LLLLL

Ekenäs continue to find their footing in their league after suffering another 3-0 loss to HJK in their last outing. They have lost their last six games and sit at the bottom of the table with 12 points in 20 games, scoring 18 goals and conceding 45. Due to a knee injury, Lucas Kaufmann will miss this game.

These two sides have only met once in their history. Ilves won the game 2-0 back in May.

Ekenäs have recently struggled, and the struggle is not ending anytime soon. They are at the bottom of the league, and relegation looks closer week in and week out. With this, I see the hosts getting an easy win here and also keeping a clean sheet.
