Honka vs KuPS Analysis
Two of the top three teams in the Finnish Veikkausliiga clash on Saturday as first-place KuPS travels to Espoo to take on third-place Honka in the top tier of Finnish football.
KuPS has won four of their five road games this season while Honka have won three of their last four at home also, so a tight game is expected here on Saturday.
KuPS have won all three of their previous meetings against FC Honka including their most recent head-to-head in this venue back in September by a competitive 1-0 scoreline.
KuPS Hoping To Go One Better Than Last Season
Finishing top of the regular league on goal difference last season, KuPS can feel somewhat aggrieved as they lost the domestic title by a slim one-point margin to HJK in the subsequent Championship Group.
That could easily have been avoided however as KuPS went winless over the final three games of the Championship Group, including a title deciding 1-1 draw at home against rivals HJK.
With both KuPS and HJK sitting level on points at the top of the table once again this year, KuPS will no doubt be looking to go one better and not let the title slip through their hands yet again.
Honka Looking To Relive Their Glory Days
Speaking of domestic titles, FC Honka is a team without a single one yet came extraordinarily close in 2008, 2009 and 2013 as they finished runners-up in each of those years.
In 2015, however, Honka were demoted to the bottom league in Finland due to financial difficulties, but eventually regained a foothold in the top division back at the start of the 2018 season.
Honka will be hoping their No. 2-rated defense this year will be enough to challenge the supremacy of KuPS and HJK for the title this season.
Honka vs KuPS Prediction
This is an extremely close game to call with both teams coming into this one in some really solid form right now.
However, getting KuPS on the draw no bet line is simply too good to pass up here and that’s the way we’re going to look in this one for Saturday.
KuPS has a phenomenal unbeaten record in the Finnish Veikkausliiga over the past few seasons and haven’t lost a single league game in well over a year, home or away, not since the start of the 2021 season.
KuPS remain the only unbeaten team in the league over 2022 as well and we expect them to keep that run going into this weekend also as we take KuPS +0 to get a result on the road against FC Honka over in the Finnish Veikkausliiga on Saturday.
