FC Lahti
- The hosts' form has also been mixed, but they are on an upward curve with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 5 matches in all competitions.
- These games have been a 1-0 away loss to Ilves, a 2-0 home victory over FF Jaro and a 0-0 away draw against FC Inter Turku.
KuPS
- KuPS Palloseura will arrive at Lahden Stadion on Sunday knowing that they have a real chance to widen the gap at the top of Veikkausliiga 2026, but with Lahti in decent form on home turf, it will not be a straightforward task.
- The visitors have been the better side so far this season, as demonstrated by the league table, but their form has been mixed recently with 2 draws in a row.
Head-to-Head
KuPS have won the last 5 meetings with FC Lahti in Veikkausliiga 2026 , including a 2-1 home win 2 months ago .
Key Players
- Miika Nuutinen has successfully maintained the ball-control, structured-possession style of play that has defined his reign since taking over in January 2026.
- Jaime Moreno has been the champions-in-waiting's main danger man, netting 10 times in 17 Veikkausliiga 2026 games, while Neemias Barbosa has been Lahti's spark, netting four goals in 16 games to lead the club with two in the last five.
- Goncalo Pereira has been gradually developing Lahti since taking over in January 2025, although his side's style of organization and compactness is different from Nuutinen's.
Betting Insights
- Both clubs have an excellent home and away record respectively and have been in good form, so the market looks right with Lahti at 2.55, KuPS at 2.55 and the draw at 3.5.
- Both teams to score at 1.62 looks good in this game.
Prediction
KuPS are the more likely to just nick it given their better form and perfect record in the head-to-head recently.
