• Competition: Finland - Veikkausliiga
• Date: Sunday, 11th, June 2023
• Kickoff: 16:30 UK / 17.30 CEST

Kuopion Palloseura will hope to maintain the leading position in the Finnish Veikkausliiga when they face Vaasan Palloseura at Hietalahti on Sunday afternoon.

Ahead of the last round of the first half of the season, coach Jussi Nuorella's team is at the very bottom of the table with a minor six points. On the other hand, KuPS has high ambitions to return the domestic championship title to its showcases after they handed it over to Helsinki's hands last season. After 12 rounds, The Yellow-blacks are first with two points more than the current champion HJK who is currently third.

VPS vs KuPS Betting Tips: Team2 to Win

With a huge desire to save the number one position in the Veikkausliiga table, KuPS should add another three points without any complications against a team that traditionally suits them. It's true that the teams drew 1-1 in the Finnish Cup in late February, but before that, The Yellow-Blacks have won each of the last five clashes.

At the same time, it should be pointed out that KuPS carries good memories with "Hietalahti" in recent years, since they outplayed VPS in five consecutive duels, when we are talking about the top flight of Finland. Consequently, the club from Kuopio will make sure to leave the mentioned turf for the sixth time in a row with a smile on its face.

Besides, the league form of The Yellow-blacks looks fascinating and gives them every right to hope for another success on Sunday afternoon. After a difficult start and only one point from the opening three rounds, Jani Honkavaara's men found the desired rhythm and form, which is best shown by the 24 points won out of a possible 27.

VPS, which secured qualification for the youngest UEFA competition last season, could leave the elite tier of Finnish football this year. The striped ones are sinking into a deeper and deeper hole and better days are not in sight for them, since they registered only one victory since the start of the season. By the way, that only victory came against Mariehamn (2-1 / at home), with whom they share the worst position in the table.

After that victory, VPS was returned to the factory settings again, having collected only one point from the last five league fixtures, while with a 1-2 defeat against SJK last time, they extended their losing streak to three games. If KuPS want to express return the Veikkausliiga title in their homeland, they should not miss such opportunities and therefore their victory should be taken into account.
