Ilves vs FF Jaro: Ilves to win
Ilves head into the clash with a 1.5 expected‑goal edge over FF Jaro’s 0.4, and the model assigns them a 65 % chance of victory. Jaro have not earned a point in five games, while Ilves have a lone win in the same span.
Both teams arrive on opposite trajectories: Ilves have managed a solitary win in their last five league outings, whereas FF Jaro have failed to pick up any points, losing all five. The contrast in recent results sets the tone for a decisive encounter.
Lars's Verdict
Given Ilves’ 1.5 expected goals versus Jaro’s 0.4 and a 65 % model win probability, the home team is the logical choice.
Show the maths
With Ilves averaging 1.5 expected goals and FF Jaro averaging 0.4, the model gives a 74.4% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 25.6% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Ilves at 65.0%, the draw at 25.4%, and FF Jaro at 9.6% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 22.4% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Ilves
Ilves’ last five league games read LWLLL, with the lone win coming from a 2‑0 home triumph over Mariehamn. They have also suffered narrow defeats, notably a 0‑1 loss to VPS at home and a 1‑2 setback against HJK Helsinki, indicating they can score but are vulnerable defensively – a pattern that supports a home win but suggests a modest margin.
FF Jaro
FF Jaro have lost all five of their recent league fixtures, including a 0‑2 defeat at Mariehamn and a 0‑1 loss to AC Oulu at home. Their only goal in this run came in a 1‑3 loss to VPS, underscoring a meagre offensive output that weakens any chance of avoiding defeat here.
Head-to-Head
In the five recent meetings, Ilves have won four times (5‑0, 4‑2, 0‑1, 2‑1) and FF Jaro have only one victory (2‑1), a record that heavily favours the home side for this fixture.
