RoPS Rovaniemi vs KuPS Kuopio Prediction, Preview, Statistics and Betting Tips: Little to Choose Between Two Evenly Matched Teams

Although KuPS Kuopio are five places ahead of their opponents on Saturday, just two points separate them. Early season league tables can drastically reshuffle depending on results and RoPS can leapfrog KuPS if they can claim a victory at the Rovaniemen Keskuskenttä.

Match Preview

Our RoPS Rovaniemi vs KuPS Kuopio preview begins with an analysis of the home side’s recent form. RoPS have had their ups and downs of late, winning two and losing two of their last four. They have won just half of their league games thus far, but the openness of the Veikkausliiga means they are potentially one win from moving into second spot.

  • HIFK 1-0 RoPS Rovaniemi
  • RoPS Rovaniemi 1-0 Lahti
  • SJK 3-0 RoPS Rovaniemi
  • RoPS Rovaniemi 2-1 JJK

With just one defeat from their last seven ahead of our RoPS Rovaniemi vs KuPS Kuopio predictions, the away side have started to make Finnish football fans sit up and take notice. Despite their positive run, KuPS haven’t kept a single clean sheet in the league so far, a stat that is bound to concern manager Marko Rajamäki.

Urho Nissilä has been in fine form for KuPS during the early part of their campaign, netting four times from midfield, including a vital late winner against HIFK a fortnight ago.

  • PS Kemi 1-4 KuPS Kuopio
  • KuPS Kuopio 2-1 HIFK
  • Lahti 1-2 KuPS Kuopio
  • KuPS Kuopio 1-1 SJK

RoPS Rovaniemi vs KuPS Kuopio Prediction and Betting Advice

Although RoPS Rovaniemi vs KuPS Kuopio picks cannot ignore the noteworthy form of the visiting side, RoPS must also be acknowledged as a dangerous team. The home side have won three on the spin at the Rovaniemen Keskuskenttä, and they have turned that stadium into something of a fortress since losing their first game of the season there to VPS.

KuPS will be full to the brim with confidence, but they might have to settle for a share of the spoils against RoPS on Saturday. I’m going for a score draw in this one.
