KPV Kokkola vs FC Inter Predictions

For any smaller side progressing into the top division, using the momentum of that promotion to ensure they have a quick start to the season is an essential aspect in ensuring any goals set out at the start of the campaign are accomplished. Unfortunately for KPV Kokkola, they have not managed to carry that momentum forward but this weekend they have the opportunity to build on some much needed success as they welcome an FC Inter side who will be looking to build on a positive start to the campaign.

KPV Kokkola may well be wishing they could start the season over again as they have lost six of their opening nine league matches, drawing the other three. However, last time out in the Veikkausliiga they managed to put that run without a win to an end as they overcame FC Honka in a tight 1-0 match. The hosts have plenty of work to do however, and the unfortunate mix of the worst offensive and defensive records in the division means it should surprise nobody to learn that they sit at the foot of the table.

It has been a dream start to the season for FC Inter Turku but following defeat at the hands of Ilves last time out, they will be keen to bounce back as soon as possible. The visitors have an excellent offensive record and with the 20 goals they have managed to score so far they boast the best goal return in the Veikkausliiga. However, after failing to win their last two outings they know that they have it all to do if they are to bridge the gap in the race for the title.

The hosts will be boosted by the fact that they were able to win last time out, but truth be told they are firmly second best in the running for this one. The fact that the visitors have the best offensive record in the league and are coming up against the side with the worst defensive record means that backing an away win is the only thing that makes sense in this fixture.
