KuPS at home shows strong metrics: on average they score 1.67 goals per match with xG 2.15, register 7 shots on target, have a 67% home win rate and have not yet lost at home (0% defeats). SJK have clear away issues: on average 0 goals scored per away match and 100% of away fixtures without scoring, while conceding 2.5 goals away on average and having no away wins (0%). Quality of chances favors KuPS — home xG 2.15 versus SJK away xG 1.18, average shots 18.33 versus 8 and shot accuracy 9% versus 0% for the visitors away, indicating a higher volume and quality of opportunities for the hosts. Additionally, KuPS concede 1.0 goal at home on average and keep a clean sheet in 33% of matches, whereas SJK have kept no clean sheets away (0%), amplifying the hosts’ defensive edge. In summary: 67% home wins and no home defeats for KuPS versus 100% away defeats and 0 goals away for SJK suggest a KuPS victory as the most likely outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
I recommend BTTS - Yes based on clear attacking indicators from both teams: in the last 5 matches KuPS had BTTS in 60% of games and SJK in 80%, providing a strong signal for both teams to score. KuPS generates xG 1.89 with an average of 16.33 shots and 5.0 shots on target per game, while SJK concedes an average xG 1.76 and on the season concedes 2.5 goals per game, which favors goals for the home side. SJK scored 14 goals in the last 5 matches (2.8 avg) and has a recent attacking xG of 2.28, whereas KuPS conceded 6 goals in those five matches (1.2 avg), so the visitors have a real chance to score. Season-long KuPS BTTS rate is 67% and they keep a clean sheet in 33% of home matches, while the league average BTTS is 50%, further supporting a both-teams-to-score scenario. Considering 60% vs 80% in the last 5 matches, xG 1.89 vs 1.76 and SJK’s offensive 2.8 goals per game, I assess BTTS probability at 78% versus 22% No BTTS.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
I estimate a total of 2.94 goals: KuPS 1.83 and SJK 1.11 — values derived from xG (KuPS xG_for 1.89 vs SJK xG_against 1.76 → ~1.83 for the home side; SJK xG_for 1.18 vs KuPS xG_against 1.04 → ~1.11 for the visitors). Both teams have a season share of matches over 1.5 goals equal to 100% (KuPS 100%, SJK 100%), which is the strongest statistical signal and supports the OVER on the 1.5 line. The 2.5 line has mixed backing: season OVER 2.5 is 33% for KuPS and 50% for SJK, but the expected 2.94 goals and SJK’s last 5 matches averaging 2.8 goals with last5 xG_for 2.28 raise the probability of OVER 2.5 to around 60%. OVER 3.5 appears unlikely (seasonOver35 0% for both teams, and the league average is 2.34), so I rate OVER 3.5 as low probability.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
KuPS has a clear advantage in chance creation: average xG at home is 1.89 versus 1.18 for SJK away, and average shots are 16.33 versus 8.0, indicating KuPS pressure especially in the second half. However, KuPS more often trails at the break — in 2 of 3 home matches (67%) — but shows a strong reaction after the interval: it has won all second halves (100%) and scores on average 1.33 goals after the break. SJK struggles with away efficiency: season average goals scored on the road is 0.0 and shot conversion rate 0.0, while conceding an average of 2.5 away goals, so it will be hard for them to hold a lead. Goal-minute data show KuPS scores mainly after the break (2 goals in 46–60 min and 2 goals in 76–90 min), supporting a turnaround scenario. Considering a 40% share of guest leads at half-time in the last five matches, KuPS’s superiority in xG and shots and its second-half scoring (1.33 goals after the break), the most likely scenario is SJK leading at the break and KuPS winning after 90 minutes (HT/FT 2/1).
