VPS got a 4-1 win over SJK in their last game. Evgeniy Bashkirov, Teemu Hytonen, and Samuel Lindeman were all on the scoresheet. The win was their first after going 4 games without a win. They are unbeaten in 3 of their last 4 home games. They sit 5th on the table with 36 points in 25 games, scoring 40 goals and conceding 41. With only 2 games left in the season, they have missed out of the chance of Europa League contention but they remain in contention for a place in the Conference LEague qualification rounds.

Ilves recorded a 1-0 win over HJK in their last game. Roope Riski scored the only goal of the game in the 82nd minute. Ilves have now won their last three games and remain unbeaten in their last 5. However, they have won just one of their last 4 away games. They sit second on the table with 48 points in 25 games, scoring 50 goals and conceding 27. They are just 2 points behind top-placed KuPS. Meanwhile, Felipe Aspegren is out due to a knee injury.

Both sides have met 20 times since 2017. VPS won 5, Ilves won 8 and 7 ended in draws. The last game between the two sides ended in a 3-2 win for Ilves.

VPS might have recorded a win in their last game, but they are still not back in their form. They managed 5 shots on target in the game and had 4 in the net. However, Ilves still have the league in their sight, and a drop in points in this game will see them technically out of the title race. With this, both sides will find the net, but the visitors will win.
