Inter Turku vs KuPS Prediction: Can the hosts get their first win of the season here?

KuPS hope to take revenge for the recent cup loss against Inter Turku when they clash at the Veritas Stadion. Inter Turku are without a win this season. Can they get the first here? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

Inter Turku started their season with a 2-1 comeback loss to Gnistan and secured a 1-1 draw in their second game against Oulu. Inter Turku saw 52% possession in the game and fired 10 shots, of which 6 were on target. The 2024 Liiga Cup champions have lost just 1 of their last 8 games in all competitions. They are now unbeaten in each of their last 4 home games.

KuPS will hope to take revenge for the Liiga Cup defeat to Inter Turku in this clash, as they lost 4-2 on penalties to this side a few weeks ago after the regular time ended 2-2. KuPS have since put the defeat behind them, as they started the season with a 3-1 win over defending champions HJK and secured a 2-2 draw in their last game against Mariehamn.

In the game against Mariehamn, Mariehamn were put ahead in the 43rd minute of the match when Muhamed Olawale fired in a shot, but the joy was short-lived as KuPS got an equalizer in the 45+1 minute of the game when Otto Ruoppi scored. Larsson Adam restored the lead once again for Mariehamnin in the 47th minute from the penalty spot, but KuPS managed to pick a point out of the clash when Axel Vidjeskog scored from the penalty spot in the 90+2nd minute. With the draw, KuPS are still unbeaten this season, and they sit second on the table with 4 points. Only Gnistan (6) have more points than KuPS this season.

Inter Turku and KuPS have met 21 times since 2021. Inter Turku won 5 times, KuPS won 13 times, and 3 ended in draws. The last game between the two sides ended 2-2 in regular time, but Inter Turku won 4-2 in the penalty shootouts.

Inter Turku proved to be a hard nut to crack for KuPS in their last meeting, as they missed the chance of clinching the season's first silverware. Even though Inter Turku won the game via penalties, I still believe that KuPS will come to this match to get revenge. However, I will stick with both teams to score in my first bet and place money on KuPS in my other bet.
