Editor's Pick
Goals are expected from both sides in this match. KuPS have scored in 11 consecutive matches in the Veikkausliiga, and at home in this fixture they not only score but also concede - both teams have found the net in 8 of the last 9 meetings. TPS, meanwhile, have conceded away in 13 of their last 14 matches.
Add the hosts' rotation ahead of their trip to Romania, and the picture becomes clear: the hosts will get what they need, but won't keep a clean sheet. The bet is both teams to score. Predicted score - 2:1.
