VPS team overview
VPS have been a mid-table team in recent seasons and are once again in their usual spot this year. After 13 rounds, they sit in 5th place with 21 points, two points away from dropping to the Relegation Group. But generally speaking, they are in good momentum and definitely have a shot against Inter Turku in the Cup. In the previous round, they beat KuPS, the reigning Finnish champions and the current league leader.
After a 1:1 draw with Gnistan in the previous game, coach Jussi Nuorela spoke to the media. He wasn't impressed by their performance and did not reach their level. "This was a missed opportunity for us. We could have strengthened our position in the top six, but we couldn't do that today," the coach added.

Inter Turku team overview
Inter Turku have had an amazing last season, almost winning the title. They finished first in the regular phase but lost to KuPS and eventually ended up 2nd. This year, it seems they will once again battle with KuPS for the title, as they are level with them on 30 points after 15 rounds. They have generally been excellent throughout the season. Still, they were pretty lucky with a draw in this Suomen Cup, having to face one of the weakest Veikkausliiga teams this season (SJK) in the previous round.
After a 2:0 win over Mariehamn, coach Vesa Vesara did not speak with the media. Instead, two-goal scorer Alie Conteh spoke. He thanked the fans for their support and said that the victory was well deserved. The 21-year-old striker said they learned some lessons from the previous games and applied them to this one, which eventually secured them a good result.

Prediction
VPS have been amazing for this type of bet as both teams scored in their last four games. Also, at home, they were amazing, as they are undefeated thus far and were pretty efficient, scoring at least one goal in seven out of eight games. In total, they scored 23 goals in those eight games - 2.87, and we expect them to score at least one here as well.
Inter Turku are doing a great job this season. They are at the top of the league (with KuPS) and have lost just once across the season. They haven't had many problems scoring goals as they have done so in 15 out of 18 games across competitions - 83%. Also, five of the past six Inter Turku's road games ended with both teams scoring.
Considering all the above, we believe both teams to score should be the best option for this Suomen Cup tie.
3 Reasons why we should see both teams scoring
- Both teams scored in VPS's last four games
- VPS scored in seven out of the past eight home games
- Inter Turku have scored in 15 out of 18 games this season
