Match description

KuPS is the favorite in this matchup — the visitors have scored 16 goals this season versus VPS’s 8, a higher xG (1.69 vs 1.49) and 2.2 points per match in the last 5 games compared to the home side’s 1.6. KuPS also creates more high-quality chances: average 63% possession and 5.25 shots on target per away match, while VPS at home averages 44% possession and 4.5 shots on target. In the last 5 matches both teams have scored 7 goals each, but KuPS has the better run of results (3 wins and 2 draws) versus VPS (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss). VPS has the home advantage — still unbeaten at home (0% losses) and scores 1.5 goals per home game with a conversion rate of 12% versus KuPS’s 10%, which may limit the visitors’ pressure. Considering the higher xG, possession superiority and better form, I give KuPS the greater chances: 55% for an away win, 25% for a VPS win and 20% for a draw.
