Haka began the 2025 Veikkausliiga campaign with ambitions of returning to the league's upper half, but as the season progresses, it appears that simply staying clear of the relegation zone may be their most realistic target. The team recently enjoyed a five-game unbeaten streak, but that run came to an end with a 3-1 defeat against HJK in the Finnish capital. The home side had 2.61 xG, compared with Haka's only 1.15, so it was unrealistic for the guests to leave Bolt Arena with some points.
KuPS are one of the best Finnish teams. Last season, they won their seventh league trophy, and although some rivals have improved, Jarkko Wiss' team are still among the leading contenders to lift the trophy again. KuPS' form lately was far from ideal, as they won only two of the last seven matches. Their most recent outing ended in frustration, as Wiss' team lost 1-0 away from home to Mariehamn. KuPS dominated possession with 74% and attempted 12 more shots on goal than the opponent, but poor finishing once let them down.
Haka vs KuPS pick: Over 2.5 goals
Haka and KuPS had one h2h match this season. In that game, KuPS won 3-1 on the road. We should expect another high-scoring match on Tuesday afternoon.

Haka team news
Haka didn't play well against HJK in the previous round and the head coach, Andy Smith, was expectedly disappointed. He said, "Our decisions, especially in the first half, were bad, and a team of HJK's caliber will punish them for them. In the first half, we weren't able to do what we should have done, but in the second half, we showed what we are capable of. When we play like we know how we can win games."
Elias Romero and Riku Selander are injured and will not play on Tuesday against KuPS.

KuPS team news
KuPS was far from their usual level in the last match, and the head coach, Jarkko Wiss, was expectedly disappointed. He said, "If you want to play for the championship, of course, this is not enough; there is no need to explain anything here. We have scored zero goals in the last few games and conceded goals – you have to be honest with yourself and the result. It would be better to play bad games and take points, but now there are no goals or points."
Doni Arifi and Samuli Miettinen were with the Finland U21 team in recent weeks, but they could return for Tuesday's clash in Valkeakoski. Samuel Pasanen remains out due to injury.
