JJK Jyvaskyla vs KuPS tips and predictions

Hosts to make a fist of it

These teams come from different leagues but the stats look good for the hosts. While it's not particularly odd to see these big odds against the home team they cannot be dismissed.

The total goals expectation for the game is decent so this could be entertaining. But that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

KuPS are the obvious favourites in the betting but they are just too short.

The hosts have reached 12 home wins from their last 19 games while the travelling side has lost 1 of their last 3 matches home and away. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

JJK Jyvaskyla are going to need some tremendously good fortune on their side. While probably not enough to change the destiny of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. This home side is in a run of form on their own soil. They have scored three or more goals in 8 of their recent 19 home matches and at the back they have kept a clean sheet in 10 of their last 14 home games.

The attacking form shown by KuPS has been short of quality. They averaged just 0.9 goals in their last 17 matches. Even though the stats don't give them huge confidence in front of goal they will surely look for deeper penetration during this match. They've put setbacks behind them before though.

It's possible the game ends with at least one clean sheet because of the clear favouritism for KuPS. Should it play out as many expect then the BTTS No could be worth considering. When there is an apparent gulf in class, games can take an unpredictable turn. The analysis in this preview depends on how the hosts cope with a better standard of play.
