Form Guide — Last 5
Turku PS
Turku PS' last five league results are W‑D‑D‑D‑L, including a 3‑1 away win over VPS and a 0‑0 home draw with Inter Turku. The recent 0‑1 loss at Mariehamn shows a rare lapse, but the three draws demonstrate a defensive consistency that still allows goals, supporting a BTTS outcome.
Ilves
Ilves have posted L‑L‑L‑W‑W, with a 2‑0 home win over FF Jaro and a 3‑1 home victory against Lahti. After three straight defeats, those two wins underline an up‑turn in attacking output, indicating they are likely to breach Turku's defence and contribute to both sides scoring.
Head-to-Head
In the five recent meetings, Ilves have won every match (1‑3, 1‑0, 1‑0, 0‑2, 2‑0), keeping Turku PS scoreless four times, which underscores Ilves' scoring reliability and supports the BTTS expectation.
