VPS team overview
VPS came to this season after a pretty bad one last year, when they ended up in the Relegation Group. However, this year, the team from Vaasa is doing a better job, and it seems they are only getting better as the season progresses. At the moment, they sit in 6th place with 13 points from nine rounds, averaging almost 0.3 points per game more thus far. However, it seems they delivered their best performances in the Suomen Cup, reaching the semi-finals, where they will face Inter Turku on June 30th.
After beating KuPS (on penalties), coach Jussi Nuorela spoke to the media. He said he knew KuPS would dominate possession, but they defended well and did not allow clear-cut chances. The coach eventually praised the team's discipline and confidence in the penalty shootout.

KuPS team overview
KuPS, the 2025 Finnish champions, are once again among the title favorites. The champions had a solid start to this season but suffered a setback after the elimination from the Soumen Cup. In the Veikkausliiga, they are doing OK, as they sit in the 3rd spot - four points behind the 1st-placed Inter Turku. The main reason they aren't at the top is their road record, given their average 0.89 fewer points per game away from home. It will be interesting to see if they can change their negative road momentum against a team that just eliminated them from the Cup.
After losing to VPS in the previous game, coach Miika Nuutinen spoke to the media. He said it was an expected, typical tight match. The coach said they had periods of control but that VPS were slightly better and eventually deservedly won the match.

Prediction
VPS are by far the best team in the league for this type of bet, considering they went under 2.5 goals in seven of nine league games - 78%. Pretty much their only high-scoring games came in the Suomen Cup against lower-tier teams.
KuPS, meanwhile, have been excellent for this type of bet on the road. There, they were under 2.5 goals in five out of six games across competitions, while scoring one or zero goals in four of those matches. So, expecting a great offensive performance against VPS seems unreal, especially given they just failed to score against them in the Cup.
Also, as we mentioned, these teams met just days ago, with the match finishing as a goalless draw in regular time. Considering all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this Veikkausliiga tie.
3 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- VPS went under 2.5 goals in seven out of nine league games
- KuPS scored one or zero goals in four out of six road matches
- Four of the past five h2h games ended with fewer than three goals
