Ilves Honka betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 5^th position of the league, with 15 points won, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Inter Turku, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Mariehamn, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 14 conceded. In the last 6 away league matches Honka has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 18 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 12 matches for the Veikkausliiga, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 2 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 12 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 9 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 9 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

FC Honka enters this round of Veikkausliiga 2023 with motivation, having returned to winning ways in their last match and maintaining their position in the Championship qualification zone. It is worth noting that Honka managed to overcome HJK (the current three-time Veikkausliiga champions) on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regulation time in an away match that determined a spot in the Finnish Cup round of 16. In the Veikkausliiga, Honka currently holds the 5th position with 4 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses in 12 rounds. They have a 2-point advantage over their upcoming opponent, Ilves, who sits in 7th position, just outside the Championship qualification zone. However, considering that Ilves has played four fewer matches than Honka, the pressure is on Honka to secure at least a draw in this away match.

Confirmed Lineup: Maksim Rudakov, Matias Rale, Ville Koski, Aldayr Hernández Basanta, Dario Naamo, Kevin Jansen, Otso Koskinen, Roman Eremenko, Florian Krebs, Edmund Arko-Mensah, Clésio.
