Ilves vs HJK Helsinki Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals

An entertaining Veikkausliiga contest seems likely this weekend with both teams posting plenty of high-scoring outcomes in recent weeks.

Hosts Ilves, currently fifth in the division come into this match on the back of successive 2:2 draws against SJK and Lahti. Each of the hosts last three fixtures have seen both teams net at least two goals, with Joonas Rantanen´s side crashing to a 4:2 defeat against SJK in the Suomen Cup. 

At Tammelan Stadion, Ilves fans have been treated to several high-scoring matches this season. The hosts have seen over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last six matches, with an average of five goals scored in those games. 

Visiting HJK have also been involved in several high-scoring outcomes in recent fixtures. Winners in five of their last six matches, all five of those games saw at least three goals scored. An average of 3.5 goals were scored in those contests.

Previous encounters between these sides have typically delivered in the goal markets. Nine of their last 12 meetings saw over 2.5 goals scored including five of the last six contests at this venue. Five of their six most recent matchups also saw BTTS, and I expect both outcomes to land this weekend.

Over 2.5 goals should prove a good choice, while I´m also taking a chance on both teams netting. HJK can also be backed to claim another away victory at Tammelan Stadion.
