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

The Finnish Veikkausliiga is quickly approaching the business end of the season and with plenty of sides still jostling for position, there remains plenty to be decided. Two sides who still have plenty left to play for come together this Sunday as bottom of the table PS Kemi look to improve their chances of survival when they welcome a KuPS Kuopio side who still haven’t given up hopes of a top three finish.

The hosts have had a season to forget so far in the Veikkausliiga as they are currently bottom of the table and even though they have played a game more, they are three points away from the side directly above them. They will not have much confidence of a result this weekend either as most of their troubles have come on home soil. The Kings have won just one game in their 10 matches in front of their own fans and with no wins in their previous seven outings, it is not as if things have been getting any easier.

However, the chances of the home side getting a result are not quite as slim as you might think, as making the trip to Sauvosaaren Urheilupuisto is a KuPS Kuopio side who have had plenty of troubles of their own of late. The visitors go into this match having only won one of their previous seven outings, a sequence of form which is hardly good enough for a side who are looking to finish in the top three come the end of the campaign.

The form of both of these sides makes the win-draw-win market an unpredictable one so instead, we think that the goal market is where the best value is found. Given that the hosts have been pretty poor defensively this term, as they have conceded an average of 1.8 goals per game and have conceded eight in their previous four matches, we think that they look unlikely to shut out the opposition.

This, combined with the fact that KuPS have the second best offensive record in the Veikkausliiga with 32 goals coming from their 20 matches this season, leads us to believe that backing the visitors to score over 1.5 team goals is the best opportunity for a decent return from this fixture.
