Mariehamn Team News
Mariehamn is in tenth place in the table, with only one point more than last-placed VPS. With as many as 19 goals conceded in the previous part of the championship, after Haka, they have the weakest defense in the league, and that is the segment of the game that they must improve if they want to survive in the Veikkaulsliiga.
After a series of three consecutive defeats (AC Oulu 3:2, Honka 2:1, and SJK 0:2), the home team, with a lot of difficulty, defeated the second-division VIFK in the round of 16 of the Finnish Cup. After that, there was a duel with KuPS, today’s rival, in the championship, where Mariehamn made a huge surprise, defeating the great opponent in the 45th minute after a penalty. After that, the home team played another championship match against KTP at home, and the game ended 0:0. Mariehamn can still be satisfied with this draw, considering that they played with one less player in the second half due to the red card of the defender Timi Lahti.
Huomenna! 🇫🇮🏆

KuPS Team News
KuPS will try to end the dominance of HJK, who won three previous championship titles. In the last two seasons, KuPS was runner-up at the end of the championship, and they hope they can make a breakthrough this year and win the title for the first time since 2019.
Until the already mentioned defeat against Mariehamn, the visitors had a streak of five consecutive victories in all competitions. They defeated JJK and HIFK in the Cup, while in the championship, they were better than Haka, AC Oulu, and VPS.
KuPS quickly forgot about the defeat against Mariehamn, and already in the next round, they defeated Lahti away 4:3. The match was full of twists and turns, and it seems that the guests came to victory more difficult than expected.

Mariehamn vs KuPS Prediction
Along with HJK, KuPS is the best team in the Finnish league, and they will do their best to prove that the loss in the duel with Mariehamn a week ago was just a bad day. For this reason, we give them the advantage in this match. If we add that the last ten duels between these rivals ended with less than four goals, it is clear why we believe it will be the same this time, especially since Cup games bring extra caution because one goal can decide the winner and semi-finalist.
