SJK
WLDDWL ⚖
SJK will be hoping for a better result after a 1-0 Veikkausliiga losing effort in their last game against VPS Vaasa.
Xavier Odhiambo (49') was the scorer for VPS Vaasa.
It has been a rare occasion in recent times that SJK have shown defensive steel. The reality is that SJK have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 9 goals along the way. That pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, of course.
Going into this encounter, SJK have not won against KuPS in their previous 10 league games.
KuPS
DDWWWW 📈
KuPS come into this match following a 0-2 UCL Qualifiers win to beat Vardar in their most recent game.
For KuPS, goals were scored by Brahima Magassa (45') and Bob Nii Armah (49').
In their previous six clashes, KuPS have bagged a total of 14 goals. KuPS have also managed to score on each one of those occasions. Over that period, their defenders have seen 6 goals go against them.
Looking at the pre-match facts, KuPS:
- have not been beaten by SJK when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 matches in the league. Away fans have certainly had plenty to cheer about.
- are undefeated in their last 4 league matches away from home.

Head to head

A combined sum of 10 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 3 for SJK and 7 netted by Keltamusta. The average number of goals per game works out to 1.67.
The previous league game featuring the two was Veikkausliiga match day 6 on 08/05/2026 and the score finished KuPS 0-0 SJK.
The referee was Antti Munukka.

Team News: SJK
There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the SJK boss Jarkko Wiss to be concerned with from a near full-strength set of players. Albin Björkskog (Knee injury) won’t play.
🧠
Prediction
It looks to us that this KuPS can create a good amount of chances and successful shots on target.
However, SJK might well find it a difficult task scoring goals- but, we do see them converting at least once.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a decent 1-3 win for KuPS when the referee blows the final whistle.
