Jukurit has won six of its previous seven games.

With its athletic consistency this season, the league has at least caught those who criticized the 16-team series as too big. In practice, the main series of Finnish ice hockey has never been as interesting as it is right now.
At the top of the table, the first seven teams are within four points, and at the tail end, the last four are within eight points of each other. When this is combined with the renewed series system with league qualifiers, we are really talking about the regular season of all time.
Series with a large number of teams can accommodate a lot of small series with more randomness and variation in the moods of the teams. There are already many delicious examples of this in the league this season.
The phenomenon of the moment is the rise of the Jukurs from their already clear jumbo place to even possibly fighting for the playoff spots. The people of Mikkeli have almost found a charm in what they do after the coach speculations Marko Tuomainen under.
Jukurit has won six of its seven previous matches and is the strongest team in the league in seven matches. There is only six points left to stay outright.
In the Ilves–Jukurit match, both teams have plenty of shortcomings compared to their optimal formations. The lynx is out of the attack Eemeli Finland, Lukas Svejkovsky, Adam Najman mixed Joonas Nättinen and defense are lacking Jarkko Parikka, Sebastian Soini mixed Toni Utunen.
The team’s performances have fluctuated a lot in recent matches with a mixed deck. Jukurei lacks attack Topias Hynninen, Aleks Haatanen, Max Ellis and Severi Immonen and from the freezer Lucas Nordsäter, Niklas Peltomäki and Kasper Soini. Considering the shortcomings, the Jukurs’ game has been rolling better than Ilves in recent matches.
In terms of betting and power relations, I can’t make Ilves as big a favorite here as Veikkaus (scale 1.52/4.95/5.20). However, the best bet of the match can be found on the goal number bets side. The 1.94 offered for over 5.5 goals in actual playing time is very close to playable.
Ilves–Jukurit starts at 18:30.
The best betting tip of the day
The best betting idea for Monday can be found in the NHL. Florida has now pulled off two perfect sweeps at home for Christmas, losing to both Tampa and Montreal 0-4.
Especially in the Montreal game, none of the Florida players were there. It would be unheard of if not by Paul Maurice the group would now gather. In the case of Florida, it’s specifically about the team getting into the game. In terms of material or gameplay, it doesn’t stick.
On the other hand, Florida’s next night’s opponent, the New York Rangers, have a deeper problem – at the level of the entire organization. The Rangers have won just two of their last ten games, and their task here against a resurgent Florida will not be easy.
Veikkaus’ 1.88 multiplier for Florida’s regular-time win is the highest on the market and is valid up to the coupon.
Florida-NY Rangers kicks off at 2:10.
In the bets of the day, you will miss the odds of the evening/night U20 World Cup matches. Veikkaus has now made the race odds on such a schedule that it is not possible/worthwhile to wait for them.
Germany has a really special situation in its match against Latvia, which starts at 22:30. Last night, Germany played against Canada in a match that started at 2:30 Finnish time (Canada won 3–0).
The team now has just over half a day to recover before the Latvia game. A little bit of recovery (a large part of which should be able to sleep right after the previous game) should inevitably be seen in Germany’s performances today.
Since Latvia has even been a better-looking team than Germany at the games, here it is worth using Latvia’s offers when the odds are ready. As for the final win, I consider Latvia playable if its coefficient exceeds the 1.80 level.
Games of the day: Florida – NY Rangers 1 (odds 1.88).
The total balance of the day’s games for the year: 193/357/97%
