KuPS Kuopio vs HIFK Predictions

• The hosts have not tasted defeat for six consecutive games.
• The visitors are without a win or a clean sheet in three matches.
• KuPS have opened the scoring in five of their previous six fixtures.

Easy victory expected for KuPS

The league leaders welcome rock bottom HIFK to Vare Areena and will be more than confident of picking up three points here considering they have lost just once all season and that came away from home. In front of their own fans, they have won six of their seven outings, drawing the other, and have conceded just four goals in that time. Anything but a home would be a huge shock.

The visitors have had a pretty torrid time of things and have had little to smile about. That’s evident by the fact that they’ve secured just one victory from their 14 league matches this season and they’re now faced with the task of travelling away to the league leaders. They simply do not score enough goals. They’re the lowest scorers in the division with a total of ten at this point – fewer than a goal scorer per game on average.

Visitors to leave with their tails between their legs

It’s hard to make any kind of case for the visitors. They’re not potent going forward and are unlikely to pose too much threat to KuPS here. We’ll be siding with the hosts to win and keep a clean sheet.
