📊 Form Guide

KuPS
WLLDLL
KuPS will be looking for an improved result here following a 1-0 Veikkausliiga defeat in their last game at the hands of IFK Mariehamn.
Emmanuel Okereke (79') was the scorer for IFK Mariehamn.
An interesting feature of more recent KuPS games is the number of results with a nil in them.
From their previous sextet of matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a losing one.
Their previous form shows that KuPS:
- haven't lost in the league to HJK in their previous 2 games.
- are without a win at home for the past 2 league games.
HJK
WWWDWW 📈
HJK will go into the game following on from a 3-1 Veikkausliiga win to beat FC Haka in their most recent match.
For HJK, goals were scored by Alex Ring (13'), Teemu Pukki (23') and Benji Michel (58'). Jean-Pierre Da Sylva (26') was the scorer for FC Haka.
The attacking players from HJK have helped themselves to an abundance of goals over their previous 6 encounters (19 to be precise). That works out as the outstanding average of 3.17 goals scored per match during this period of time. Having said that, time will tell if such a trend will be sustained here in this match.
Taking a look at their past results, HJK:
- haven't won against KuPS when they've played them away from home in the last 6 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.
- have not been beaten in their last 4 league matches away from home.
↔️ Head to head
Looking at their past head-to-head meetings stretching back to 03/09/2023 tells us that KuPS have won 3 of them and HJK 1, with the number of drawn games standing at 2.
An aggregate of 16 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 9 for Keltamusta and 7 netted by Klubi. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.67.
The last league contest between these sides was Veikkausliiga match day 9 on 31/05/2025 when the final score was HJK 0-0 KuPS.
The match was refereed by Mohammad Al-Emara.
💡 Prediction
We’re of the opinion that KuPS will have a tough ask to be putting a goal past this HJK side who we think should score & stay on top.
We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought 0-1 victory for HJK when all is said and done.
Should be a close one.
