KuPS Honka betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The home team must control the offensive actions of this match and has a good chance of leaving the field with the victory, as seeks the leadership of the competition and has a well-balanced defensive system. However, the visiting team boasts the best defense and, even though it's not at its best time, it can take advantage of the opponent's instability (which comes from a defeat that cost the lead) to get at least a draw. Thus, the expectation is that the teams, even if aiming for the victory, do not expose themselves much in this match. So betting on “Under 3.5 goals” in this match is a good choice.

After 12 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, the home team is in the 2nd position, havinf won 41 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Inter Turku by (2‑0), after in the previous match they have won (3‑2) at home, against HIFK. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses in away matches; against 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. In the last 9 home league matches KuPS has a record of 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, so they have won 22 points out of 27 possible.

They haven’t lost any of the last 5 home matches for this competition. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 2‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 7 of the last 9 for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 19 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

The team that plays this match at home had its invincibility interrupted in the last round, having been defeated by 2-0 to Inter Turku (3rd placed), away from home, after staying 9 rounds without losing. However, as this team fights point-to-point with Helsinki for the lead and, consequently, for the Veikkausliiga title, the defeat of the last round was enough for KuPS to lose 1st place in the table. Both teams have the same 41 points in the 19 rounds played so far, with equal number of wins (12), draws (5) and losses (2), but Helsinki has an advantage in the balance of goals. In all, the team that plays this match at home adds 35 goals scored and 18 conceded, against 44 scored and 16 conceded by Helsinki. However, it is worth remembering that the leadership has been taking turns by these teams for a long time and, therefore, the KuPS, who is the current champion, still have forces to fight for the title until the last round.

The visiting team in this match stayed 11 rounds without suffering a single defeat, having been the last to lose invincibility in the current competition. Honka currently has 31 points in 19 rounds played, with 10 draws, 7 wins and only 2 losses, with 21 goals scored and 12 conceded.

In this way, Honka remains undefeated as a visitor, with 6 draws and 3 wins in 9 matches played away from home.
