SJK vs KuPS Kuopio Predictions

• Collectively, these two have been involved in just nine draws in 45 matches.
• The visitors have opened the scoring in eight of the previous ten head-to-heads.
• KuPS have conceded just one goal across their last five outings in all competitions.

Home comforts for SJK

After two successive defeats on the road, SJK will be glad to return to the OmaSp Stadion where they’ve won all of their last three matches. They currently occupy the bottom spot in the Championship group having won just nine matches so far and have a habit of conceding. Across their 23 matches, they’ve conceded an average of 1.48 goals per game and they’ll need to tighten up if they’re to stand a chance here.

The visitors meanwhile sit second in the Championship group and in contrast to SJK, their defence has been dependable. After 22 matches, they have conceded just 16 goals and given they have conceded just once across their last five outings, they will feel confident that they can keep the hosts at bay. The defence will act as a solid foundation to build off and with them scoring 1.64 goals per match on average, an away win certainly seems possible.

Away win likely

The visitors are in great form and whilst the hosts will likely improve now that they’re back on home soil, we fully expect KuPS to have enough to emerge victorious here.
