Best Tip: ILVES to win

A Veikkausliiga victory in front of their own fans for Joonas Rantanen's ILVES side win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Stats suggest they have what it takes, and they should be too strong for their opponents. The odds from the bookies suggest the same, and when that happens you've know you're not going against the market. A ILVES win is the bet we'd suggest, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
