Mariehamn started the season with a 3-2 win over newly promoted Ekenas. Sebastian Dahlström opened the scoring for Mariehamn in the 6th minute of the game. Noah Lundström leveled for Ekenas in the 8th minute, before Muhamed Olawale put Mariehamn back ahead in the 9th minute. Noah Lundström then drew Ekenas level again in the 18th minute. Substitute Oskari Sallinen wasted no time as he scored the decisive goal of the game in the 85th minute, just 3 minutes after coming on. Mariehamn controlled the tempo of the game with 65% possession. With the win, Mariehamn have now won 2 games in a row after their 3-0 win over KTP in the preseason. They have also scored in each of their last 5 games and have scored 6 goals in the last 2 games.

KuPS started the season on a positive note by defeating defending champions HJK 3-1 in their first game of the season. Saku Savolainen opened the scoring for KuPS in the 25th minute before adding a second goal in the 67th minute. Petteri Pennanen then scored KuPS's third goal in the 77th minute. HJK managed to get a consolation goal in the 90+8th minute when David Ezeh scored. KuPS had 6 of their 10 shots on target. This victory ended a 2-game losing streak for KuPS, and they have now won 6 of their last 8 games.

Both sides have met 15 times from 2018 to date. Mariehamn have won once, KuPS have won 11 times, and 3 matches have ended in draws. Mariehamn won the last game between these sides on penalties after regular time ended 1-1.
Expert Betting Tips
Both sides started the season on a very impressive note, and it is very hard to separate the two teams. The hosts have lost just one of their last 12 home games, so with the home advantage, I don't see them losing this game.
