KuPS hosts AC Oulu in round 11 of the Finnish Veikkausliiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 30th at Savon Sanomat Areena (Kuopio)
KuPS were bronze medalists of the last draw of the Finnish championship. And now the Canaries are preparing to start in the Europa League qualification. Their first opponent will be the Armenian Noah, and then they may face Vorskla Poltava. By the end of June, KuPS gained good shape. Like at the end of 2020, the club is in third place. The Canaries won 4 times in a row, conceding only one goal from Honka, which was still defeated 2-1. Among other things, they earned three points in the match against Inter Turku, a contender for the title. Now there are only two points between the clubs. The rest are behind, and HJK, on the contrary, has gotten away from the competitors.

AC Oulu received the right to climb to Veikkausliiga only last year. The Blue-Whites took first place in the lower division in 2020. But this spring they started the championship with a 0-2 defeat to Ilves and didn’t manage to gain even a draw in six consecutive rounds! Only in the match before last, they managed to beat another newcomer to the elite, KTP (1-3 away). But it seems that that was the only exception. On June 24, AC Oulu hosted KuPS and lost again. Moreover, Tomas opened the scoring already in the 6th minute, so there is no need to say that the outcome could have been different. And when Rangel doubled the lead in an hour, everything was clear: it was the Blue-Whites who finished the first round in the last place. They gained only three points and suffered seven defeats in eight matches.
I have already mentioned a 0-2 victory of KuPS in the last round. Before that, this team beat AC Oulu in February (1-0), and in general, the Canaries won four official head-to-head matches in a row. AC Oulu gained its last victory back in 2011. KuPS is now in good shape and should repeat the result of the last head-to-head game. So, we bet on the victory of the home team with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: KuPS to win with -1.5 handicap
