🗞️ Team News: IF Gnistan

Thanks to a mainly healthy squad, there is only the one fitness problem for the IF Gnistan manager Jussi Leppälahti to contend with. Evgeniy Bashkirov (Knee surgery) won’t be playing here.

🔮 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Ilves are likely to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

However, IF Gnistan may well find it hard to make a breakthrough but do we see them pulling one back during this clash, too.

Therefore, we are anticipating a comfortable 3-1 winning score for Ilves at the end of the match.
