APWin Prediction

Double Chance: Ilves or Draw

APWin experts have analysed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

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

The various signs and statistics we have studied point to this being a one-sided affair, with the favoured Lahti likely coming out on top away from home. Lahti has simply been the superior team this season, whereas Ilves has struggled.

But for some added value, we recommend betting on Lahti to win the first half, which would bring a higher potential payout.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Looking at the current form of both teams, betting the 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market seems like the smart way to go.

It's hard to see both teams getting goals in this match. The two defences have been quite solid, while the offences have had a hard time in front of goal. With that combination, this match could very well be a low-scoring affair with one or none of the teams finding the back of the net.
