TPS host Ilves at Veritas Stadion, Turku (Åbo) on Monday, Jul 20 at 5:00 PM in the Veikkausliiga.

TPS come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Ilves, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, TPS face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Ilves have won 7 of 8 encounters. Their last encounter ended in TPS won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives TPS a slight edge, but Ilves are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
