This could be an interesting match as SJK have their presumed home advantage while KuPS are ahead 10 points in the Veikkausliiga table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for SJK and KuPS.
SJK form and stats
1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Veikkausliiga numbers at home for SJK so far this season.
The spoils were shared in SJK's previous game, also at home. Visiting Haka (placed 10th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at KuPS.

KuPS form and stats
The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (4) in Veikkausliiga, are W1-D3-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Veikkausliiga. It's three draws from KuPS's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
KuPS are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at HJK (placed 3rd). Before that, KuPS secured a home win against SJK with the score 2-1.
After this away game KuPS return home for a Veikkausliiga game against HJK. That game is only four sleeps after this.
