We already sided with Gnistan v Ilves earlier this week in the cup, let us do it again!

*********

Ilves with revenge on their mind, heading to Oulunkylä, Helsinki!

Gnistan and Ilves will face each other on Sunday in the Veikkausliiga at Oulunkylä’s Mustapekka Arena. This will be their second meeting this week, as they already clashed in the Finnish Cup earlier. The spark was one-sided in that match, with Ilves sent home defeated 3-0. Sunday’s game promises to be different.

It’s of course unwise to draw any clear conclusions from Wednesday’s match, since both teams rotated their squads. However, Gnistan has recently been in fine form also in Veikkausliiga, and Jussi Leppälahti’s team has set its sights on finishing in the top six this season. Last weekend, Gnistan drew away against Jaro, but they created plenty of chances to win.

Team news - Gnistan:

Marcelo Costa and Oliver Pettersson continue to be sidelined in Gnistan’s defense, and Roman Eremenko’s playing status is still uncertain. The presence of “Roman,” who was recently called up to the Finnish national team after a long break, would be a huge boost for the hosts. At 38 he is still the best player in the league alongside Teemu Pukki of HJK.

Ilves has stumbled a bit recently, both results-wise and in terms of play. Joonas Rantanen now has some headaches due to a slightly struggling attack. However, it’s too early to talk about a major crisis before a clearer trend emerges. After all, they have a solid win at home against KuPS from a couple of weeks ago. From an expected goals perspective, Ilves’s play has shifted toward lower-scoring matches.

Team news - Ilves:

As expected, Maksim Stjopin, who was in the starting lineup during the week, will rest on Sunday due to a full card. In the infirmary, there should only be Otto Tiitinen, so the squad situation is decent.

There is value on Gnistan for Sunday’s odds, even though it’s not wise to focus too much on the midweek game. Ilves’s play is currently not at an optimal level, and it shouldn’t be an easy game again for the visitors.

Did you know?

Gnistan is a Swedish word, meaning a Spark! Let them shine today!

Good luck!

在本周早些时候的杯赛中，我们已经支持了吉尼斯坦vs伊尔维斯，让我们再来一次！

*********

我怀着复仇的心，前往Oulunkylä，赫尔辛基！

格尼斯坦和伊尔维斯将于周日在Oulunkylä的穆斯塔佩卡球场对阵。这将是他们本周的第二次交锋，此前他们已经在芬兰杯上交锋过。那场比赛的火花是一边倒的，伊尔维斯被送回家以3-0击败。周日的比赛肯定会有所不同。

当然，从周三的比赛中得出任何明确的结论是不明智的，因为两支球队都轮换了阵容。然而，格尼斯坦最近在维克考斯利加的状态也很好，而尤西Leppälahti的球队本赛季的目标是进入前六名。上周末，吉尼斯坦客场战平了哈罗，但他们创造了很多获胜的机会。

团队新闻- Gnistan：

马塞洛·科斯塔和奥利弗·佩特森继续在防守中缺阵，罗曼·埃雷门科的出场状态仍然不确定。“罗曼”最近在长时间的休息后被征召到芬兰国家队，他的出现对东道主来说将是一个巨大的鼓舞。38岁的他仍然是联盟中最好的球员，与jk的普基齐名。

伊尔维斯最近在成绩和比赛方面都有些磕磕绊绊。乔纳斯·兰特南现在有点头疼，因为他的进攻有点吃力。然而，在更清晰的趋势出现之前，谈论重大危机还为时过早。毕竟，他们几个星期前在主场对up的比赛中取得了稳固的胜利。从预期进球的角度来看，伊尔维斯的表现已经转向了得分较低的比赛。

团队新闻-伊尔维斯：

正如预期的那样，本周在首发阵容中的马克西姆·斯乔平将在周日休息，因为他是一张满牌。在医务室里，应该只有奥托·蒂蒂宁，所以球队的情况还不错。

对于周日的赔率来说，格尼斯坦是有价值的，尽管过分关注周中比赛并不明智。伊尔维斯的发挥目前还没有达到最佳水平，对客队来说，这场比赛应该不会再轻松了。

你知道吗？

Gnistan是瑞典语，意思是火花！今天就让它们闪耀吧！

好运！
