KuPS Kuopio vs PS Kemi Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Whilst Europe’s top divisions are all reaching their conclusions, there is a handful of leagues which are only just beginning and will continue over the summer months. One of those leagues is Finland’s Veikkausliiga and this weekend sees second placed KuPS Kuopio welcome struggling PS Kemi Kings to the Kuopio Football Stadium.

HJK Helsinki are the dominant force in this division but the hosts will be hoping to keep the pressure up at the top of the league with another essential three points. Given the relative form of these two sides, that is exactly what we think will happen. However, with odds as short of 1/5 for this, we will have to find our value elsewhere.

With 17 goals in their previous seven matches, it is easy to see why KuPS have been doing so well in the early stages of the season. However, the fact that both teams have scored in 80% of their home matches so far this term shows that they have plenty of vulnerabilities at the back.

This, coupled with the fact that five of PS Kemi Kings’ last six matches have resulted in both teams scoring, leads us to believe that backing both teams to score is the way to go in this fixture.

We are not done there though, as we think that there is more opportunity for further profit in this fixture. One look at the form graphic at the top of this page will give a clear indication of why we are tipping an additional bet in this fixture. The hosts have won four of their previous outings, a stark contrast to the visitors, who have lost seven of their nine matches this season.

With this in mind, we think combining our initial tip of both teams scoring with a home win looks to be an excellent way to increase the odds on offer.

Although you may struggle to find odds on the market, another tip worth looking at is the anytime scorer market. Rasmus Karjalainen leads the division’s scoring charts so far with nine goals to his name, and with eight of those goals coming in the previous five outings, he looks a pretty good bet to score once again this weekend.
