- Competition: Veikkausliiga

- Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CEST
- Venue: Vare Areena
KuPS face IF Gnistan in the Vare Areena on Saturday and could go top of the Veikkausliiga table with a win if Inter do not win their game.
In the last league game against HJK, KuPS put in a fantastic attacking performance thanks to J. Luyeye-Lutumba’s three goals. It was an important win after two consecutive defeats against Mariehamn and Ilves in the weeks before.
IF Gnistan have done even better than Tuesday's opponents in recent weeks. The team are unbeaten in three games, but have only won once in that time (1-2). However, their away record is not particularly good: they have not won in their last three away games.
KuPS - IF Gnistan Betting Tips: KuPS to Win
KuPS are definitely a contender for the Veikkausliiga championship title at the end of the season, and they proved that last weekend with a brilliant performance against HJK. They beat HJK 3-0 to end a two-game losing streak and are now level on points with Inter at the top of the table. IF Gnistan have not won any of their last three away games despite a run of three games unbeaten in recent weeks. We therefore expect KuPS to continue their winning streak and pick up another three points on Tuesday.
