Veikkausliiga Finland
Game Prediction
In the 12th round of Finland's Veikkausliiga on June 14, 2025, KuPS will host Ilves. The league leader has a chance to strengthen its position by welcoming one of its most persistent challengers at home.
Our Prediction for KuPS vs Ilves
Last season, these clubs were caught in a fiercely competitive race for the top, first in the regular season and then in the "championship" group. In the end, the Kuopio side edged out their rivals by two points, 56 to 54, reclaiming the title after a five-year break.
Now, the champions are holding their ground. However, their recent matches have not gone their way. They lost to both Ilves and VPS without scoring, and played to a goalless draw against HJK. Still, the visitors from Tampere are also dropping points in nearly every other game, so they are currently only in third, behind Inter Turku as well.
Viis' team is rather pragmatic. They average just 1.45 goals per game, but concede only 0.82 in response. Sederbeck and company have a more entertaining ratio: 2.1 goals scored, 1.2 conceded per match.
