KuPS continue their Finnish Veikkausliga title defence as they host Gnistan on Tuesday.

The champions have done some of their best work at home this season and will be feeling confident heading into this one. They also have a good record in this fixture and should get the better of the visitors, who are unconvincing on their travels.

KuPS Form


KuPS come into this clash off the back of a 3-0 home victory over HJK in their previous fixture. Jarkko Wiss’ team were too strong for their rivals, with Luyeye Lutumba netting a hat-trick.

It has been an overall fine title defence for KuPS, who are well on course to retain, as they sit second in the table, level in points with leaders Inter Turku. The win over HJK is also part of a solid record in front of their fans having won six of their last eight Veikkausliga home matches.
One of the issues for KuPS this season is their vulnerable defence having failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions. Four of the last five matches in that run have produced over 2.5 goals while they have scored in six of their last eight home fixtures in the league.

Gnistan Form


Gnistan are not in the title mix at the moment as they currently sit seventh in the table, 10 points off the pace. Their recent form has been unconvincing, failing to win in four of their last five matches and playing out a 2-2 home draw with Inter Turku in their previous fixture.

Jussi Leppalahti’s team have looked a bit off colour on their recent travels, failing two win their last three away matches. They have played out two draws in that run while a 3-2 defeat at Haka is also among their results.

Gnistan often look sharp going forward and have scored in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet seven times in that run, while seven of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals. 

Head to Head


KuPS have never lost in this fixture, claiming four wins and a draw from five previous matches. The hosts picked up a 2-1 away win in the reverse fixture back in Apri

Verdict

KuPS have a dominant record in this fixture and have also won six of their last eight league home matches this season. They should claim the upper hand over Gnistan, who are winless in their last three away fixtures.

Both teams often show their attacking quality and have scored in their last two meetings, with both fixtures producing over 2.5 goals. Tuesday's clash is expected to offer up a similar outcome.
