Finland Veikkausliga; today
Ilves-Inter Turku
pick: 1 +0.25 AH
odds: 1.90 SBObet;
stake: 5/10
Ilves has been playing good, soem of their results have been quite undeserved like the away loss to Mariehamn. They ahd some tough schedule and away visits are a problem. However, they managed to save most of the squad and their starting XI should be close to their optimal one. Koskinen, Aho and Korte are not 100% but even if they do not play, I believe that especially for their positions there is someone to cover for them.
Inter have been in red hot form in start of the season when they managed to score quite a lot of goals. However, recent games have been a disaster and last clash was a 3-0 away loss to rock bottom VPS. Now it is their 2nd guest game in a row and today again they will miss first goalie, midf. Diogo Costa and key striker Hambo. To that we have to add young midf. Qvick and defender Kaakoudis who serves suspension and def. Hamalinen who is injured. SOme back up players out as well.
Inter managed to take a tough 3-1 victory in the reverse fixture and a win in penalties, earlier in March. Today they have really big missings and will play against a team who even though is one of the 4 worst in Veikkausliga, has managed a very strong home performance with only 1 loss at Tammelan Stadion. I see hosts as short favorites here and would gladly back them with this hendie.
