Ilves is the big favourite to beat SJK for a reason. Their performances overall have been excellent, and their form has been particularly strong.

But if you're looking for an added boost of value, our big betting tip is to take Ilves to score first. Their attack has been prolific, and with their defence also looking so solid of late, they are the most likely the first - and possibly only - team to score in this match.

👉 Our prediction is: Ilves to win the 1st half

Our top betting tip for the Ilves vs SJK match is Ilves to win the first half. While the half-time market is not one of the more well-known betting markets, it often offers better value odds than wins over 90 minutes.
