FC Lahti welcome KuPS at Lahden Stadion, Lahti on Saturday, Aug 15 at 2:00 PM in a Veikkausliiga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

FC Lahti come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). KuPS, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, FC Lahti face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. KuPS have won 9 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in FC Lahti won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Lahti a slight edge, but KuPS are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
