KuPS vs. Lahti: Preview and betting tips

KuPS beat Georgian Dila Gori 2-0 on Thursday and are close to qualifying for the second round of the Conference Europa League, but on Sunday they have to defend their first place in the Finnish league. What to expect from the match with Lahti and what to bet on?

KuPS is having a surprisingly good start to the league season. After ten rounds, they are at the top of the table with a three-point lead over second-placed Helsinki. In addition, it has lost only one of its last twenty games.

Lahti, on the other hand, is struggling and is not in the relegation zone only because of its win in the last round. From tenth place, they are currently only one point ahead of the eleventh place in the barrage and six points ahead of the relegation zone.

Offensive midfielder Janis Ikaunieks is doing well in the home camp, the Latvian international has scored three times and assisted twice. Forward Tim Väyrynen has scored nine goals and assisted on one.

Chinedu Geoffrey is the mainstay of the visitors, the Nigerian forward has been on the scoresheet for four goals, scoring twice and assisting. Chinedu Geoffrey has been helping out on the wing, the Kosovo U21 international has found the net five times and assisted twice.

KuPS is not only not losing, but also not scoring goals. He has scored more than once in only one of the last 20 games.

Lahti, on the other hand, has not kept a clean sheet in eleven games, during which it has scored twenty-two times.

Given KuPS’s awesome form and increased confidence after winning the cup qualifier, I expect KuPS to win and score at least two goals.
