KuPS to continue title charge at SJK

Seinajoen JK vs KuPS Kuopio - 28/09/2022

5489

On Wednesday afternoon, SJK host KuPS in the Finnish Veikkausliiga as the visitors look to maintain their title challenge.

SJK

The home side head into this clash on the back of a poor recent run of league form. They have lost three of their last four league matches, leaving them in sixth place. Last time out, SJK suffered a 2-1 defeat at HJK.

The game ended a run of low-scoring games for SJK, as five of their previous seven league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Despite their recent poor run of form, SJK’s record on home soil in the Veikkausliiga is respectable, as they are unbeaten in eight home matches, having recorded five wins and three draws.

Their good recent home record has been powered by their attacking prowess, as SJK has scored at least two goals in their previous six home matches in the league.

KuPS

The visitors look well in the hunt for the Finnish top-flight title. KuPS are currently in second place in the table, five points behind league leaders HJK, but with a game in hand on the team from the capital.

KuPS have won three of their last seven matches in the Finnish top-flight, a relatively inconsistent record for a team hoping to challenge for the league title. KuPS have at least kept two clean sheets in the league.

The visitors have won back-to-back away games in the Veikkausliiga at Inter Turku and VPS. However, the away double comes on the back of four away games without a victory for KuPS in the league.

Their recent away games in the Finnish top-flight have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league matches on their travels.
