KuPS Kuopio vs Haka Predictions

• Last season’s league meetings between the teams produced 11 goals in total.
• Three of Haka’s four league games this term have produced over 2.5 goals.

Goals likely in Kuopio

KuPS are strong favourites to dispatch Haka at Savon Sanomat Areena this weekend but Simo Valakari’s side can be given the swerve after a 3-2 defeat at Ilves last time out.

That result and two defeats from five so far this season means there’s little appeal in backing the hosts here at around 4/11, even though they’re likely to prove too strong for a Haka side that have lost three from four this term and only narrowly avoided relegation in 2020.

Nonetheless, the visitors’ sole victory so far this season was a resounding one at Mariehamn last time out (0-3) and with their tails up, Teemu Tainio’s men can contribute to a high scoring clash in Kuopio this Saturday.

Three of Haka’s four games this term have generated three goals or more, and with 11 netted across both league meetings between the sides last season, over 2.5 is our recommended bet for this Saturday’s fixture alongside a 3-2 correct score in favour of the hosts.
