General match analysis

TPS have a clear home advantage: they have won 58% of their home matches, with just 17% defeats, while Ilves have won only 9% of their away games and lost 64%. The hosts concede an average of just 0.75 goals per match at home and keep a clean sheet in 58% of their appearances, whereas Ilves concede an average of 2.36 goals away from home and have failed to keep a single clean sheet. Ilves’s attack creates slightly more, with an average xG of 1.50 compared with TPS’s 1.35, but the visitors have a very poor defensive balance, allowing 1.80 xG against. Both teams have averaged 1.2 points per game over their last five matches, but TPS conceded only 3 goals during that period, compared with Ilves’s 7. The hosts should exploit their opponents’ defensive vulnerability and are the most likely winners of the match.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The BTTS - No pick is not primarily based on TPS having a highly solid defense: the hosts have kept a clean sheet in 54% of their matches and concede just 0.92 goals per game on average. Their recent defensive form is even stronger, having conceded just 3 goals across their last five matches, or 0.6 per game. Ilves score an average of 1.55 goals and have a high 82% rate of matches featuring goals from both teams, but they have failed to keep a single clean sheet away from home, which strongly supports a TPS goal. At the same time, TPS have scored just 4 goals in their last five matches, while BTTS - Yes has occurred in only 38% of their matches this season, compared with the league average of 49%. The most likely scenario is therefore that at least one team fails to score, even though Ilves’ defensive weakness gives the hosts a realistic chance of finding the net.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

TPS score an average of 1.69 goals at home, while Ilves concede as many as 2.36 goals per away match, clearly increasing the hosts’ attacking potential. Ilves score an average of 1.55 goals and register 13.18 shots per game, although TPS have the stronger defence, conceding just 0.92 goals on average. At least 2 goals were scored in 69% of TPS matches and 91% of Ilves matches, while both teams recorded 100% of games with at least one goal. TPS’s recent form has been more cautious, with 4 goals scored and 3 conceded across five matches, which keeps the 2.5 line close to balance. The strongest signal is for Over 1.5 goals, as the high rates of matches finishing above this line, combined with Ilves’s very poor away defence, should be enough to produce at least two goals.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

TPS have won 62% of their matches this season, compared with just 9% for Ilves, while the hosts’ points-per-game figure stands at 1.92 versus only 0.55 for the visitors. The strongest signal for TPS to lead at the break comes from the Ilves defence, which concedes an average of 1.55 goals before half-time, compared with just 0.38 goals conceded by TPS during this period. The hosts were ahead after 45 minutes in 46% of their matches, while the visitors went into half-time trailing in as many as 36% of cases. After the interval, TPS still maintain a positive goal difference, scoring an average of 0.85 goals and conceding 0.54, whereas Ilves have failed to keep a clean sheet in any match this season. Therefore, the most likely HT/FT scenario is TPS leading at half-time and securing the win at full-time (1/1).
