FC Ilves host Shakhtar Donetsk in Finland in the second leg of their Europa League Qualifier, with the Ukrainian visitors leading 6-0 from the first leg. Joonas Rantanen's Ipa are playing more for pride in this second clash of the two teams but Arda Turan's Miners will be hoping to continue their excellent form by wrapping up another victory. Let's check out what our prediction is for this match.
The first leg of the tie was played in Stozice Stadium in Ljubljana, Slovenia and Shakhtar ran out comfortable 6-0 winners. A double from Alisson Santana was added to by single strikes from Kaua Elias, Kevin, Pedrinho and Newerton. Clearly, playing away from their homeland did not affect the rampant Ukrainians who top-scored among all teams taking part in the Europa League Qualifiers last week.
That result may have been a shock for Ilves, who had won two and drawn one of their three games prior to that. To the Finns' credit, they did bounce back on Monday evening, earning a 3-2 win over VPS in the Veikkausliga. That win kept them second in the table behind Inter Turku.
Shakhtar's league season does not start for a few more weeks, but a second-string Shakhtar team faced Slovenian side Brinje in a friendly the day after their first leg victory, earning a comfortable 5-0 away win.

Our Ilves vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction
Our prediction for the Ilves vs. Shakhtar Donetsk Europa League Qualifier 2nd Leg is: Shakhtar Donetsk to win and both teams to score.
After a 6-0 win in the first leg, Shakhtar are in no danger of being knocked out of this competition, but they will want to finish off the tie strongly. Their recent form is good, and the way they outclassed their Finnish opponents in the first leg suggests that they should be confident of another victory, but data suggests Ilves will get a consolation.
