Match description

The favorite is HJK. The home side has won 4 of their last 5 matches and scored 20 goals in that period (avg. 4.0 per match), while KuPS has 2 wins and 3 draws with 8 goals in their last five matches (1.6 per match). At home HJK averages 1.67 goals and has 50% clean sheets, whereas KuPS on the road scores 1.33 goals on average and has not kept a clean sheet yet (0%), giving the hosts a defensive edge. KuPS records a higher away xG (1.72 vs 1.64) and more possession (60% vs 55%), but a lower conversion rate (9% vs 12%) and a lower points-per-game average over the last 5 matches (1.8 vs 2.6 for HJK), which limits their real goal threat. Based on this I assess probabilities as: HJK 60%, draw 25%, KuPS 15%.
