HIFK KuPS betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

As we can see, the home factor should not be relevant in this match, since the visiting team is the undefeated leader of the Veikkausliiga and the home team, in turn, has not yet won a single match and is in the bottom of the championship. It is a match in which the visiting team is widely favorite to win, because they have won 7 of the 8 rounds they have played so far (having drawn one) and, with an average of two goals scored per match, they are behind one more victory to stay at the top of the Veikkausliiga table. The home team, in turn, lost two of the three matches they played at home this season (having drawn the other one) and, it is worth mentioning, has one of the worst defenses and one of the worst attacks in the championship. Therefore, betting on the victory of the away team (KuPS to win) is the best choice for this match.

Preview
HIFK and KuPS face at Bolt Arena, in a match for the 9th round of the Veikkausliiga. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 matches.

Yaghoubi (11' ), for HIFK, and by U. Nissila (50' and 90' ), Rangel (67' ) and J. Ikaunieks (56' and 59' ), for KuPS. The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since HIFK presents significant differences between home and away results.

Analysis HIFK

After 3 draws and 4 losses, the home team is in the 12th position, havinf won 3 points so far. In the last match, they have tied in an away match against Inter Turku by (2‑2), after in the previous match they have tied (1‑1) an away match against Oulu. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 13 goals scored and 25 conceded. HIFK has won 2, tied 3 and lost 5 of the last 10 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 7 matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In 10 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Helsingfors IFK comes for this match at home with the expectation of getting at least one more draw to reach the third consecutive match of the Veikkausliiga without defeat and, thus, keep adding points with the expectation of leaving the bottom of the table. HIFK is in a difficult situation in Veikkausliiga at the moment: with 3 draws and 4 losses in the 7 rounds they played, they are the last (12th) placed in the table, being 4 points less than the penultimate (11th) placed. Despite this, it is worth considering the fact that Helsingfors have one less game and are on the rise at the moment. Helsingfors IFK lost 4 of the first 5 rounds (having drawn one) and, since then, they have not lost more, although they have not won either: there were two draws in the last two rounds, both of which were away from home and the last of them against of a team that fights at the top of the table. Therefore, the team expects to get at least a draw with the current leader, KuPS, in this round, which they play alongside the fans, but they know that favoritism is all on the visiting team's side.

Confirmed Lineup: Beto, Pipe Sáez, Jesse Nikki, Obed Malolo, Aatu Kujanpää, Sakari Mikael Mattila, Maximus Tainio, Mosawer Ahadi, Didis Lutumba-Pitah, Eero Markkanen, Macario Hing-Glover.
Coach: M. Paatelainen.

Analysis KuPS

The away team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 19 points won, after 7 wins and 1 draw. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Haka, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Oulu, by (0‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins and 6 draws in away matches, with 29 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 10 conceded.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 4 away matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 8 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 7 of the last 8 matches for the Veikkausliiga, they have reached half‑time in front in 6 of those 7 matches and have always held on to the lead until the end of the 90'. In the last 5 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Kuopion Palloseura comes to this match motivated to achieve their third consecutive victory to continue leading the Veikkausliiga. Current runners-up, KuPS started this season at an intense pace and shot ahead of Veikkausliiga by finishing the 5th round with 5 wins. In the 6th round, the draw with IFK Mariehamn away from home ended the 100% use of KuPS, but it was not enough to remove the team from the 1st position of the table. Even with one more game at the moment, the current champion, HJK, is in the runner-up and is no longer undefeated. At the moment, KuPS is the only team that remains undefeated in the Veikkausliiga, having the best attack (average of two goals scored per match) and also the best defense in the championship (with only 5 goals conceded in 8 matches). In this way, and considering that they face the Veikkausliiga last placed in this round (which has not yet won the championship), the expectation is that KuPS will not have
