Honka vs KuPS Kuopio Predictions

• The hosts have witnessed both teams score in four of their last five games.
• The visitors have opened the scoring in five of their last six matches.
• Both teams have hit the back of the net in five of the previous seven meetings.

Battle at the top

Two of the divisions’ top three sides go head-to-head as Honka play host to league leaders KuPS. The hosts will be confident they can get a positive result here as they’re yet to taste defeat at the Tapiolan Urheilupuisto so far this season and are scoring 2.5 goals per game on average. They drew in their last home match but having won the preceding three, the hosts will hope they can continue to make this arena a fortress.

It’s been a fast start for the visitors who currently occupy the top spot and do so whilst having a game in hand over second-placed HJK. Their watertight defence has played a key role in allowing them to set the pace at the top as they’re currently conceding an average of just 0.5 goals per game this season. The league leaders are also undefeated on the road this campaign but this could be their trickiest test yet.

Both defences to be put to the test

Both of these sides are exceptionally tough to beat and it’s like to be a cagey encounter, to begin with. However, if either of these sides can claim three points it would do wonders for their respective targets. However, we’ll side with both teams to get on the scoresheet here as both defences are put to the test once more.
