Ekenäs IF vs KuPS Prediction: Can EIF get back to form?

Ekenäs will be looking for their first win over KuPS in history when they both clash at the Ekenäs Centrumplan on Sunday. Ekenäs were previously humiliated in one of their recent clashes and will hope to avoid another defeat here. Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

Ekenäs suffered a 2-0 loss against Oulu in their last game. Ekenäs had 51% possession of the ball in the game, with just one shot on target. The loss is the second loss of Ekenäs in a row after they had previously lost 7-0 to Inter Turku. They have won just once in their last 4 games. At home, they have lost their previous two home games. They sit 11th on the table with 12 points in 16 games, scoring 16 and conceding 34.

KuPS suffered a 1-0 loss to Tromso in the first leg of their Conference League quarterfinal qualification during the week, but their performance in the league has been top-notch. They recorded a 1-0 win over Lahti in their last game, with Jaakko Oksanen scoring the only goal of the game in the 73rd minute. KuPS dominated the clash and limited Lahti to zero shots on target. Before their recent loss, KuPS were unbeaten in their last 5 games. They sit second on the table with 31 points in 16 games, scoring 28 and conceding 16.

Both sides have only met 4 times. KuPS won all the games, with the last being a 2-0 result.

KuPS are the best team in the league at the moment, and this will give them an edge over struggling Ekenäs in this clash. Ekenäs could only manage a shot on target in each of their last two games, and I don’t see them threatening KuPS’s defence in this clash.
