General match analysis

KuPS are the favorites: they sit 4th in the table versus Mariehamn's 12th and have an away record of 3-3-1, while Mariehamn are winless at home (0-3-3). Offensively KuPS score 1.33 goals per game with an average xG of 1.33 and a conversion rate of 14%, whereas Mariehamn at home average 1.00 goals with xG 1.14 and conversion 11%, giving the visitors a qualitative edge in chance value. Defensively Mariehamn concede 1.33 goals at home on average, but they have a much higher xG against at 1.91 compared to KuPS away xG against 1.35, which means the visitors allow fewer high-value opportunities. Both teams attempt a similar number of shots (9.33 on average, including 3.67 on target), but KuPS’s higher possession (61% vs 53%) and better conversion (14% vs 11%) increase their chances; both sides fail to score in 33% of matches. Considering recent form over the last 5 matches (KuPS 1.6 points vs Mariehamn 1.4 points), I tip a KuPS victory.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Seasonal indicators show Mariehamn has 50% BTTS matches, while KuPS has 67%, against a league average of 47%. xG metrics indicate both teams create chances: Mariehamn has season xG_for 2.13 versus KuPS xG_against 1.35, and KuPS has xG_for 1.33 with Mariehamn xG_against 1.06, meaning both sides have realistic xG values above ~1.0. Additionally, Mariehamn averages 6.75 shots on target and 18.25 shots per match with a conversion rate of 7%, while KuPS records 3.67 shots on target and 9.33 shots with a conversion rate of 14%, indicating KuPS can be efficient with fewer attempts. In the last 5 matches both teams have BTTS at 40%, but Mariehamn conceded average xG_against 1.66 in their last 5 while KuPS had xG_for 1.76, which increases the likelihood of both teams scoring in this tie. Considering seasonal 50% vs 67% BTTS, KuPS’s lack of clean sheets (0%) and the xG and shooting signals, the most confident pick is BTTS - Yes (65%) versus 35% for No.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

xG estimates give 1.74 xG for Mariehamn (home attack xG 2.13 vs xG conceded by KuPS 1.35) and 1.20 xG for KuPS (away attack xG 1.33 vs xG conceded by Mariehamn 1.06), totalling 2.94 xG. Season goals averages are 1.25 for Mariehamn and 1.33 for KuPS (2.58 total), while the league average is 2.18 goals per game, so xG indicates more scoring opportunities than actual goals suggest (2.94 vs 2.58 and 2.18). Mariehamn averages 18.25 shots and 6.75 on target with a 7% conversion rate, whereas KuPS averages 9.33 shots, 3.67 on target and 14% conversion; this explains the gap between xG and actual goals. Seasonal Over 2.5 rates are low: 25% for the home side and 33% for the away (league 32%), and in the last 5 matches the combined goals average is about 2.4 (6+6 goals in the last 5 matches of both teams), hence caution at the 2.5 line. For these reasons the strongest and most profitable signal is Over 1.5 (KuPS has 100% of seasonal matches over 1.5 in the data), therefore I recommend playing Over 1.5 as the best value.

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

I select X/1 (draw at half-time, home win) as the most likely scenario because Mariehamn drew at the break in 75% of their matches while winning at home in 50% of games. The hosts have a significant advantage in shot-quality metrics: average xG 2.13 versus 1.33 for KuPS, on average 6.75 shots on target versus 3.67 and 18.25 total shots versus 9.33, which gives them the edge after the break. Mariehamn concedes fewer goals on the season (0.75 vs 1.33) and collects more points in second halves (on average 1.75 points versus 1.33 for KuPS), which supports the possibility of a turnaround after half-time. Additionally, Mariehamn scored 2 goals in minutes 76–90 compared to 1 for the visitors, and the average goals at half-time are 0.5 for the hosts and 0.67 for the visitors, indicating a likely draw at HT and a decision in the second half. On this basis I rate X/1 as the strongest signal; alternatively 1/1 and X/X are reasonable, while scenarios with KuPS leading at half-time are the least probable.
