IF Gnistan vs Ilves Tampere Prediction (17.08.2026)

Gnistán will try to maintain its place in the top six and is currently sixth. They have only two losses in their last ten matches. One of them was at home with a 0:1 defeat to the champion and leader KuPS in their last home game. Before that, they hadn't lost at home for a long time, mostly recording wins.

Ilves is in ninth place in the standings. On Thursday, they ended their European participation with an elimination by Rijeka and can now fully focus on the championship. Their performance as guests is a problem. They have won only once in their last ten away games in all competitions and have only one away victory in the league this season.

Gnistán has been performing well overall lately. This is not exactly the case for Ilves, especially regarding their away games. I expect at least a draw, if not a win for Gnistán in this match, but still, a double chance seems like a reasonable decision.
