Looking at their form, and FC Lahti have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 8 goals overall. In defence, FC Lahti just haven’t been too solid at all. That pattern might not be continued here, though.
Leading up to this clash, FC Lahti:
- haven't won against KuPS in games played away from home for the previous 11 matches in the league. A very poor set of away results, indeed.
- are without a win away from home in their last 2 league games.
🤜🤛 Head to head
A study of their past head to head results going back to 22/04/2022 tells us that these encounters have been a source of anguish for FC Lahti. They’ve not been able to get any victories at all whereas KuPS have dominated them, winning in 100 per cent of those games where they have faced each other.
An aggregate of 16 goals were scored between the two sides during those clashes, with 13 of them from Keltamusta and 3 netted by Mustat kuhnurit. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.67.

The match was refereed by Petri Viljanen.
⚡ Prediction
We’re thinking that KuPS will most probably be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.
However, FC Lahti will be up against it to get shooting opportunities although we do see them hitting back at some stage here, too.
Accordingly, we see a controlled 3-1 winning score for KuPS at the end of this one.
