KuPS head to OmaSP Stadion on Saturday for the Veikkausliiga clash with hosts SJK.
Our SJK v KuPS predictions, statistics and match poll can be seen below (plus the best game odds).
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 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:
Checking on their past head to head meetings going back to 05/10/2024 shows that these fixtures have not been fruitful for SJK. They have not been able to register any victories at all while KuPS have been superior, finishing as winners in 67% of those games where they have faced each other.
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.
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.
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.
Checking the latest betting odds for this match on the win-draw-win market, backing SJK is available for 3.2, backing a drawn result is 3.6 & taking a punt on the winner to be KuPS gets you 2.05. Those are the best of the prices available as of now.
