Ilves vs KuPS Prediction & Betting tips
The season in the Finnish Veikkausliiga is approaching so slowly their half-time. The points of the two clubs Ilves and Kuopio are currently the same and with these the two clubs are still in touch with the international starting places. On Saturday the two clubs will meet in a direct duel. The first encounter in this season was decided by Ilves.
Ilves :
Ilves, who had missed the international business with a defeat on the final day of the season, is currently in the middle of the table on rank six and has twenty points in his account. On the third Mariehamn Ilves has only three points behind, but the tenth Rovaniemi also only two points ahead. This is how the tables in Veikkausliiga change from matchday to matchday. The balance sheet of Ilves has so far been balanced. Six victories stand six defeats, and then two more draws. Also the goal ratio of 14:16 is almost balanced.
At home, Ilves had not been able to convince him much too much, and only won two victories and a draw from six home games. Ilves lost half of his homeparties. The last four matches of Ilves are particularly interesting. In addition to two 1-0 wins, there was a defeat with the same result as a 0: 0. In the last four games with the participation of Ilves just three goals fell.
KuPS :
Kuopio finished last season with three points less than Ilves and again this year, the two clubs do not seem to separate much. Currently, Kuopio has also scored 20 points due to the better goal before Ilves. Thus, the starting position for Kuopio is almost the same. After a strong phase with four victories and a draw in five games, Kuopio’s shape curve finally showed a little downwards. Of the last five games Kuopio could not win any more, but still drew three draws.
Of his seven away games, Kuopio lost only the first with the sovereign leader HJK Helsinki, who leads the table with eight points lead and has a 6-1-0 record at home. In the ensuing and last six away matches, Kuopio did not concede a defeat and won three of the six games. But now Kuopio has to face Ilves, where Kuopio lost his last five away games. However, all results were scarce. Three times Kuopio lost 1: 1, twice with 1: 2.
