IFK Mariehamn vs KuPS Betting Tips - KuPS to Win/Over 2.5 Goals

KuPS make the trip to Mariehamn looking to bounce back from a surprise 3:0 home defeat against title-rivals Ilves on Saturday. Despite that setback, Jarko Wiss's side retains a one point lead at the top of the division, albeit having played one game more than Ilves.

A solid run of results across all competitions has seen the visitors win 11 of their last 16 games, including four of their last six on the road. 

Recent meetings between these sides have also favoured KuPS. Wiss's men won each of their last three encounters, scoring a minimum of three goals in all three victories. A total of 16 goals were scored in their last four meetings, and we could be in for more of the same this week.

IFK enters Wednesday’s clash in poor form, having won just one of their last five matches in all competitions. A heavy 5:1 home defeat to VPS last time out highlights a worrying downward spiral.

Particularly poor in home fixtures, Gary Williams' side picked up just four points from six league games played at Wiklöf Holding Arena this season (W1, D1, L4). 

High-scoring outcomes have been frequent for the hosts. Six of their last seven games saw a minimum of four goals scored and a similar outcome seems likely this week.

Considering all of the above, I'm confident KuPS can claim a high-scoring away win on Wednesday.

I'm backing KuPS to win, with a minimum of three goals scored at Wiklöf Holding Arena.
