Ilves have been decent, even good at past few seasons, but they have changed their profile manager and also have built a lot cheaper side for this season, and in my papers they are not likely to reach top-6, and I see the coach Kallio also getting fired before July.

In the derby loss to Haka on first round the coach experimented with a 3-man defense line, the result was that they should had lost by more than 1-2, and also their defender Ollila injured himself and is likely unavailable.

Losing to Haka seems unbelievable in the light of their last game when they were dominated by Honka and were down by 3 goals already at half-time.

KuPS won their opener 2-1 v strong Inter Turku side. It was not spectacular, more like a routine win. KuPS got surprisingly two new classy players from Ukraina, Sichinava and Talles who both are top players for this league, and KuPS remains the only title challenger to HJK.

And yes, this match is on neutral ground at Valkeakoski because of the wintery conditions at Tampere. So the only positive factor Ilves was about to have for this game is gone, although there is not much physical distance, but a lot of mental one as this is their main rivals stadion!

PS Also the Inter Turku v AC Oulu today is played here at Valkeakoski, and there are more venue changes to follow.

0-2

伊尔维斯表现不错，甚至在过去的几个赛季都表现得很好，但是他们已经更换了他们的经理，并且在这个赛季建立了更便宜的球队，在我的报纸上，他们不太可能进入前六名，而且我看到教练卡里奥也在7月前被解雇。

在德比第一轮输给哈卡队的比赛中，主教练尝试了三人防线，结果是他们本应以1-2多输掉比赛，而且他们的后卫奥利拉受伤了，很可能无法上场。

在上一场比赛中，他们被Honka控制，在上半场已经落后3球，输给哈卡队似乎是难以置信的。

库普斯以2比1战胜了强大的国际图尔库。这并不引人注目，更像是一场例行的胜利。kps出人意料地迎来了两个来自乌克兰的优秀新球员，西奇纳瓦和塔雷斯，他们都是这个联盟的顶级球员，kps仍然是HJK唯一的冠军挑战者。

是的，由于坦佩雷的冬季条件，这场比赛在中立场地瓦尔基科斯基举行。所以伊尔维斯在这场比赛中唯一的积极因素已经消失了，虽然没有太多的物理距离，但很多心理上的一个，因为这是他们的主要对手的球场!

另外，今天的国际图尔库对奥卢比赛就是在瓦尔基科斯基球场举行的，接下来会有更多的场地变化。
