KuPS Haka betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a match involving two teams that cannot lose points in this round of Veikkausliiga. Playing at home and needing a victory to continue in the fight for the title, KuPS is seen as the favorite to win, and even for that reason the expectation is for a match with few goals, given that it is the team with the best defense in the championship. On the other hand, despite not having a balanced defense, Haka proved capable of competing at a high level with any opponent of the Veikkausliiga and should make it very difficult for KuPS in this match, because they need at least a draw to stay alive in the search for the 3rd position of the Championship, which guarantees a place in the qualifiers of the next UEFA Conference League. Therefore, betting on “Under 3.5 goals” is the best option for this match, as it was the two times these teams faced each other in the regular phase of the Veikkausliiga.

Preview
KuPS and Haka face at Savon Sanomat Areena, in a match for the 3rd round of the Veikkausliiga. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 12‑05‑2022, in a match for the Veikkausliiga, KuPS won by (2‑1). The goals of the match were scored by J. Ikaunieks (39' ) and T. Vayrynen (28' ), for KuPS, and by O. Whyte (86' ), for Haka.

Analysis KuPS

Currently in the 2nd position of the league, the home team has conquered 50 points so far. In the 1st round, they lost in an away match against SJK by (3‑1). In the following round, the final score was a (3‑2) win in a home match against Honka.

They haven’t lost any of the last 12 home matches for this competition. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 24 matches for this competition, but have been able to turn the score around in 2.

Kuopion Palloseura comes motivated for this match to win again at home after the victory over Honka, alongside the fans, in the last round of the Championship (second phase of the Veikkausliiga disputed by the best classified in the regular phase). Kuopion PS led Veikkausliiga for most of the regular season, but dropped in performance when they had to reconcile the competition with the Finnish Cup and the dispute of the Conference League qualifiers (a competition in which they went through the first two knockout stages, but ended being eliminated in the third and final round before the group stage). In the middle of last month, KuPS became champion of the Finnish Cup and, from then on, they were able to concentrate all their forces on the Veikkausliiga, which was entering its second phase. However, in the very first round of the Championship, the KuPS lost to the modest SJK and saw the current two-time Veikkausliiga champions, the HJK, shoot for the lead. However, with the victory over Honka in the last round, in a direct confrontation for the vice-leadership of the Championship, KuPS reestablished itself in the competition and continues to depend only on itself to win the Veikkausliiga title again. To do so, however, the team needs to win all the last 3 rounds of the Championship, including the direct confrontation with HJK in the last match of the season.

Confirmed Lineup: Johannes Kreidl, Diogo Tomas, Daniel Carrillo, Paulo Ricardo, Taneli Hämäläinen, Anton Popovitch, Gabriel Bispo, Jaakko Oksanen, Janis Ikaunieks, S. Dahlström, Joona Veteli.
Coach: J. Honkavaara.

Analysis Haka

The away team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 43 points won. In their debut they won in an away match against Inter Turku, by (0‑1). In the second round, they won in a home match against SJK, by (2‑0). In the last 10 away league matches Haka has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times but have turned the score around in 4.

Valkeakosken Haka comes for this match, valid for the third round of the Championship, motivated by a sequence of five wins in the Veikkausliiga, which keeps them just one point away from the qualifying zone for the next UEFA Conference League qualifiers. With a total of 13 wins, 7 losses and 4 draws in the 24 rounds played so far (considering the regular phase and the Championship), Haka exceeded all expectations for this season and now, with only 3 rounds left for the end of the Veikkausliiga 2022, is firmly in search of a spot in European competition (something it has not been able to do since 2007, when it was runner-up in the Veikkausliiga and qualified for the 2008/09 UEFA Europa League qualifiers). Haka, who is one of the greatest Finnish champions in the history of national football, went through a serious crisis a decade ago and ended up being relegated to the Finnish Second Division (Ykkonen). 7 years passed until, in 2019, with the Ykkonen title, Haka managed to return to the Veikkausliiga, where they excelled every year: in 2020 they managed to stay in the elite of Finnish football, finishing the competition just 1 point ahead of the first team in the relegation zone; in 2021 it raised the bar and ended the competition 12 points ahead of the relegation zone and; now, in 2022, he reaches the final stretch fighting to return to a European competition.

Confirmed Lineup: Aatu Hakala, Henri Malundama, Luiyi de Lucas, Niklas Friberg , Eero-Matti Auvinen, Donaldo Acka , Tino Purme, Jude Arthur, Logan Rogerson, Lee Erwin, Oliver Whyte.
Coach: K. Martonen.
