Ilves vs Stjarnan
📖 The Preview
Ilves are sitting on a 1-0 deficit from the first leg, which means they absolutely have to come out and win this at home, and that desperation should work in their favour. Stjarnan only have a 16% chance of going through here, and their patchy recent form gives you no real reason to back them to hold on. Expect Ilves to push hard, grab two goals without reply, and go through on aggregate. Not pretty, but a professional 2-0 job at home under the lights.
