After a 1-1 draw with FC Inter Turku, KuPS are determined to secure a victory that could propel them to the top position in the standings. Currently sitting second with 32 points in 17 games, they have a good defensive record, conceding only 11 goals while scoring 22.

However, KuPS haven't been in the best form recently, winning only one of their last five matches in all competitions. To boost their chances of success, they may consider starting the talented forward Pyry Lampinen, who made an impact as a substitute with a crucial goal in the previous 1-1 draw.

With the competition heating up and the desire to win the domestic trophy, KuPS will be looking to bounce back and secure a victory over KTP in this upcoming fixture. A win would not only boost their position in the league but also provide the much-needed momentum to push forward in their pursuit of success.

KTP are going through a challenging period, having won just one of their last five league games. Their away form in the Veikkausliiga has been lackluster, and they are facing an uphill battle in this fixture against KuPS. Currently sitting 9th on the table with 17 points in 16 games, they have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring 13 goals while conceding 19.

Despite their recent struggles, there are no new injury concerns for the away team. They might consider bringing back Cuba international Willian Pozo-Venta Angell to the starting lineup in hopes of injecting some creativity and attacking flair.

Considering their recent form and poor away record, KTP will be up against it in this match, and a positive result against KuPS would be a significant surprise.

H2H

The head-to-head record between KuPS and KTP shows that they have had closely contested encounters in the past. Out of their eight meetings, KuPS have been victorious in four matches, while KTP managed to secure one win, and there have been three draws.

Their most recent clash in April resulted in a goalless draw, suggesting that both sides were defensively resilient and unable to break the deadlock. As they face each other again, both teams will be eager to secure a victory to improve their position in the league standings.

Expert Betting Tips

KuPS have not been having the best time recently and will hope to get back to winning ways in this clash. So, they should get the win right from the first 45 minutes. Additionally, they should be able to score more than once and perhaps keep a clean sheet.
