Haka have showcased a strong performance in their recent games, going undefeated in their last four matches with two wins and two draws. In a notable victory, they managed to secure a 2-1 win against KTP even though they were reduced to 10 men following Eero-Matti Auvinen's second yellow card in the 64th minute. Presently, Haka occupy the 9th position on the league table with 20 points from 20 matches. They have found the back of the net 24 times while conceding 35 goals.

KuPS enter this upcoming match on the back of a convincing 3-0 victory over SJK. Eliton Junior found the net in the 25th minute, setting the tone for the match, while Heinonen secured their triumph with two late goals in the 90th and 90+4th minutes. This victory has extended KuPS's impressive unbeaten streak to four matches across all competitions. Currently, they hold a slim lead at the top of the league standings with 41 points accumulated from 20 games. Their offensive prowess is evident, having scored 30 goals, while their defense has conceded just 11 goals. Given their exceptional form in away games, where they've amassed 20 points from 9 matches, KuPS enter this fixture as the favored side.

Indeed, KuPS have had the upper hand in recent encounters against Haka. They secured a 1-0 victory in February and followed it up with a convincing 3-0 win in March. Looking back to the beginning of 2021, KuPS have won 5 of the clashes, while Haka managed to secure 2 wins, and 2 matches ended in draws. This recent history suggests that KuPS has been the more dominant team in their head-to-head matchups, and their recent form could give them an advantage in the upcoming fixture as well.

KuPS enter this clash as the best team in the league and also the best team considering away forms. They will show why they are the league’s leader in this match. However, the hosts have scored in each of their last 5 games and I expect them to score in this match too.
