KuPS vs TPS
Finland Veikkausliiga
Date: Sunday, 5 August 2018
Kick-Off at 15:00 UK
Venue: Savon Sanomat Areena, Kuopio.
Battle against relegation in Finnish Veikkausliiga continues. Team TPS got very close to the bottom of the table after not so great results in the last month.
Upcoming duel against KuPS on the road might determine a lot of things, as there is only one third left to be played in this year’s competition. Bookmakers are giving much better chances to the hosts to collect three points, priced at 1.53 rate.
KuPS were considered as Europa League material throughout the whole season, but the most recent streak of three losses in the last four duels pushed them to the middle of the table. Last week they faced last placed team PS Kemi and lost the duel 3-2. I don’t feel that home win odds are worth the risk here.
TPS are also playing unpredictable lately. Fans got filled with hope after big comeback and victory at home against PS Kemi, the direct relegation rivals a couple of weeks ago, but later on they suffered three straight losses to HJK, Honka and Ilves.
These two teams met 32 times so far, with the advantage being on the visiting side. TPS celebrated 14 victories, while losing only eight encounters.
Five out of the last six duels produced exactly two or less goals, which might be super-useful for the goals market section.
The last time KuPS were the hosts they won the match 1-0.
I am expecting from home side to return to winning ways this Sunday. Backing them to win the match at 1.53 odds can be called a banker bet.
As for the alternatives, going Under 2.5 FT at 2.00 is solid back-up bet.
