HPK gets to challenge Ilves fresh.
Toni Utunen will return to Ilves’ lineup on Thursday. NIKLAS PEHKONEN/AOP
The most interesting game of the day
In the league match between Ilves and HPK, the stress factors are strongly in favor of the visiting team after Ilves visited Sweden on Tuesday in the CHL match as a guest of Luulaja. Even though Ilves used rotation against Luulaja, a large part of the team still traveled by bus every hour.
Therefore, it cannot be assumed that the lynx’s spirit will be at its peak on Thursday.
In terms of composition, Ilves will soon be in optimal mode. The team gets good news when a defender returns to the rink on Thursday Toni Utunen. Only the long-term patient is really one of the key players on the absentee list Carl Klingbergdefender John Nyberg and the attacker Lukas Svejkovsky. The number one keeper will open the goal today Dominik Pavlat (87.82% / 3.00 / xGAE +4.76) (last four games played 88.17% / 2.76 / xGAE +0.67).
HPK gets to the match after the optimal four days in between. There is not much difference between the teams, as Ilves has won three out of their last five in the League, and HPK has won two out of five.
In the formation department, HPK suffers from the absence of two key attackers, as both Sami Päivärinta that Teemu Rautiainen are missing. In goal, HPK will open the season with less players Marc Sinclair (88.50% / 2.59 / xGAE+0.19)
In terms of power relations, Ilves should on the one hand reduce it a bit due to the disadvantage of stress, but on the other hand, the completed composition increases its playing power. In terms of betting, the odds scale of 1.79/4.35/4.35 is in line with my own estimates, and there is no palatability in these.
Regarding the number of goals, I am in favor of a match with more goals than Veikkaus. Here, however, Sinclair’s playing decreased the goal-scoring coefficients so much that, for example, the 1.55 offered for more than 4.5 goals is no longer valid as a “cautionary” tip.
Ilves–HPK starts at 18:30.
The best betting tip of the day
Thursday’s best searches can be found in the Ambri-Piotta–Servette match of the Swiss league.
In Switzerland, a fast-paced game is played, where the stressful factors of matches on consecutive days should be given a greater weight than, for example, the League. Here, the home team Ambri-Piotta clearly benefits from the fact that Servette played on Wednesday in Davos, losing 2–6. Of course, it should be noted that Servette’s coach Ville Peltonen played his second keeper in the match Robert Mayer and on Thursday, the team’s number one keeper will be in the innings Stephane Charlin. This is a big plus for guests.
Still, Ambri’s actual playing time coefficient of 2.59 is even a marginal overcoefficient. Similarly, the 1.79 offered for under 5.5 goals in the match is at least a borderline case. Ambri-Piotta–Servette starts at 20:45.
For early bets, the receipt definitely includes two bets for Coventry against Ipswich. Both Coventry +0.5 with odds of 1.80 and Coventry +0 with odds of 2.53 are definitely over odds cases and these will fall before Saturday.
Games of the day: Ipswich–Coventry+0.5 2 (coefficient 1.80) and Ipswich–Coventry+0 2 (coefficient 2.53).
The total balance of the day’s games: 172/315/100%
