General match analysis

KuPS top the table and have suffered just 1 defeat all season, while Mariehamn sit 12th with a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 14 losses. The hosts win 60% of their home matches, are unbeaten there, average 1.9 goals scored and create chances worth 1.75 xG per game. Mariehamn score just 0.4 goals per away match, fail to score in 70% of such games and register only 2.3 shots on target, compared with KuPS’ 5.3. The visitors’ defense concedes an average of 2.4 goals away from home, with opponents producing 1.92 xG, while they have lost 90% of their away fixtures and kept not a single clean sheet. The last five matches slightly reduce confidence in the hosts, as they have scored 6 goals during that run, but the clear quality gap, home advantage and Mariehamn’s extremely poor away efficiency strongly point to a KuPS win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The BTTS - No pick is primarily supported by the very limited attacking efficiency of both teams: KuPS score an average of 0.7 goals, while Mariehamn manage just 0.4. Mariehamn have failed to score in 70% of their matches, compared with 50% for KuPS, which significantly increases the likelihood that at least one side will once again finish the game without scoring. The seasonal BTTS rate stands at only 40% for KuPS and 30% for Mariehamn, against a league average of 50%. The visitors do have a weak defense, conceding an average of 2.4 goals, but their 4% shooting accuracy and just 2.3 shots on target per match limit their chances of finding a response. KuPS’s last five matches produced BTTS in 80% of cases, but Mariehamn’s rate is only 20%, so the stronger scenario remains that at least one team will fail to score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The Under 3.5 goals line is strongly supported by both teams’ results, as a maximum of three goals was scored in 80% of their league matches. KuPS averages 0.7 goals, while Mariehamn averages just 0.4, with the visitors failing to score in 70% of their matches. At the same time, defensive weaknesses on both sides increase the likelihood of at least two goals: the hosts allow an average xG of 2.16, while the visitors allow 1.92. In their last five matches, KuPS scored 6 goals and conceded 5, whereas Mariehamn scored 3 and conceded 8, pointing more towards a 2-3-goal outcome than an open game resulting in four goals. The projected total of 2.62 goals supports a cautious Under 3.5 selection, although Mariehamn’s defense may allow KuPS to score more than once.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

KuPS have a clearly stronger profile over their last five matches: they averaged 1.2 goals scored, conceded 1.0, and lost just 20% of their games, while Mariehamn lost 60% and conceded 1.6 goals per match. The hosts led at the break in 3 of their 10 league matches this season and in as many as 60% of their last five; the visitors have never taken the lead before half-time this season and were behind at the break in 70% of their appearances. Mariehamn averaged no goals scored before half-time while conceding 1.1, which, compared with KuPS's average of 1.0 first-half goal across their last five matches, points to a home advantage being established early on. The visitors remain highly vulnerable defensively through to the final whistle, having conceded an average of 2.4 goals this season and failed to win a single match. Therefore, the most likely HT/FT outcome is KuPS leading at half-time and securing the win after the final whistle (1/1).
