SJK Seinäjoki vs KuPS Betting Analysis
Two of Finland’s heavy hitters clash on Wednesday afternoon as second-place KuPS travel over to Seinajoki to take on sixth-place SJK in KuPS’ first game of the opening Championship Group.
KuPS finished up the regular season campaign with just one loss over their final six games but still find themselves sitting five points off league leaders HJK after they won their opening Championship Group game against this same SJK side last week.
SJK was competitive in that game, however, and should provide no easy out here for favorites KuPS as they bring in just two losses all season at home over their regular season campaign.
SJK has won two of the last three meetings between the two sides, but KuPS has lost just one of their last seven head-to-heads in this venue over recent visits.
KuPS Getting It Done On The Defensive End
No team has allowed fewer goals this season than KuPS has, giving up just 0.73 goals per game on average over the course of the regular season.
This was backed up by their underlying numbers as well, with KuPS giving up the second-fewest xGA chances in the league this season also, with no team keeping more clean sheets than KuPS.
SJK Continuing To Find Ways To Score At Home
SJK has continued to find ways to hit the back of the net this season, especially at home, scoring in ten-consecutive league games in this venue entering Wednesday’s contest, and boasting the league’s third-best offensive xG this season.
Not many people would back against them continuing that goal-scoring streak against KuPS here on Wednesday.
SJK Seinäjoki vs KuPS Prediction
While SJK has been impressive in front of goals this season, they’ve nonetheless supported a defense which has allowed 32 goals overall this season along with having the league’s third-worst defensive xGA rating as well.
If they continue to give up those kinds of chances here on Wednesday against KuPS, they’ll no doubt be punished by the likes of Finland’s second-leading scorer this season Tim Vayrynen, who has bagged 11 goals for KuPS so far this year.
KuPS should have enough to get over the line in this one and keep pressure on HJK at the top of the table, so we’re recommending a play on KuPS to win outright at even-money in this one as they take on SJK over in the Finnish Veikkausliiga on Wednesday.
