KuPS welcome FC Lahti at Savon Sanomat Areena, Kuopio on Saturday, May 23 at 4:00 PM in a Veikkausliiga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

KuPS come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). FC Lahti travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours KuPS here — they've won 9 of 10 previous meetings against FC Lahti, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in KuPS won 1–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

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