KuPS, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 1-3 Veikkausliiga victory vs Ilves.

For KuPS, goals were scored by Petteri Pennanen (12'), Jaime Moreno (43') and Bob Nii Armah (57'). Teemu Hytönen (90') scored for Ilves.

It’s been seldom in recent games that KuPS have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that KuPS have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 7 goals on the way.

Ahead of this clash, KuPS have not been beaten in their last 4 home league matches.

IF Gnistan

LLDDLL ⚠

After being beaten in their last game against AC Oulu in Veikkausliiga competition, IF Gnistan will be aiming to make amends here.

The only name on the scoresheet from IF Gnistan was Sergei Eremenko (10'). Tuomas Kaukua (17'), Julius Körkkö (35', 81') and Rasmus Karjalainen (53', 69') scored for AC Oulu.

In as many as 5 out of the previous 6 clashes featuring IF Gnistan, a minimum of three goals have been hit. The average number of goals per game in that time is 3.67, with the average number of goals for IF Gnistan being 1. We will have to see if that trend can be continued on into this next match.

Going into this one, IF Gnistan have not won away from home in their last 3 league matches.

🤜🤛 Head to head

An inspection of their past head to head results going back to 19/05/2024 tells us that these encounters have been a source of anguish for IF Gnistan.

✨ Prediction

We feel that in this game, IF Gnistan are capable enough to put one past this KuPS team, although it may not quite be enough to prevent defeat.

Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for KuPS at the end of the match. Could easily see this go either way.
