VPS defeated Lahti 3-0 in their last game. Teemu Hytonen put them ahead in the 54th minute before Mads Borchers added 2 goals in the 58th and 63rd minutes of the game. VPS had 62% possession of the ball, firing 24 shots, of which 8 were on target. With the win, VPS are unbeaten in their last 9 games and have won their last 4 away games. They sit first on the table with 13 points in 5 games, scoring 11 goals and conceding 5.

Both sides have met 21 times since 2016. KuPS won 12, VPS won 5, and 4 ended in draws. The last game between the two sides ended 5-0 in favor of KuPS.

Both sides have displayed exceptional form this season, and that is why my first pick will be the BTTS option. However, with their excellent form, both sides will start the game with caution, which will lead to a first-half draw. With the look of things, VPS will salvage at least a draw in this game. They have lost just 1 of the last 4 games at this venue.
