KTP team overview
Last season, KTP finished 11th in Veikkausliiga and had the opportunity to play in the Relegation playout to secure survival. Unfortunately, TPS dominated them in the playout games, losing 6:2 in total. Now, they are looking for an instant return, and after an OK start, they have won five in a row and are deservedly at the top of the league. With 22 points, they already have a four-point advantage over the second-placed PK-35 and have played one fewer game. Therefore, they can definitely be satisfied with their season thus far.
In recent days, midfielder Mustapha Coker spoke to the media. He said they are doing well thus far, but cannot be satisfied and that there is still room for improvement. The midfielder said they are trying to play aggressively and win the ball up top.

Haka team overview
Haka also suffered relegation last year, but as the last-placed team in the league. The team from Valkeakoski is looking to return to Veikkausliiga, but will have to start playing better on the road. There, they average about 0.5 fewer points per game, and it will be a challenge for them to secure a positive result against KTP away from home. At the moment, they sit in 4th place with 15 points from nine matches - seven points away from the top spot.
After a 2:1 loss to JaPS in the previous game, coach Tommi Ekmark spoke to the media. He admitted they aren't ready for what's required to win games consistently. The coach added that they need to raise their intensity and believes that is the main reason for their loss, not the tactics or bad luck.

Prediction
KTP have been superb defensively, allowing just one goal in the past four games. Mostly due to a great defense, they went under 2.5 goals in three of the past four matches. They have generally defended well, and we expect them to do well against Haka, which have shown some offensive flaws in recent games.
Haka were amazing for this type away from home, as they have scored just one and allowed one goal in three league games - a mere 0.7 goals per game! So, it is not a surprise they went under 2.5 goals in each of their three league road games. To be fair, they had some good offensive performances this season, but almost all of them came early in the season or in the Cup against poor teams. In the past five games, they scored one or zero goals in each of their games.
Considering all the above, we believe that an under 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Ykkosliiga tie.
3 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- KTP went under 2.5 goals in three of the past four games
- KTP kept a clean sheet in three of the past four matches
- Haka scored one and allowed one in three road games
