KuPS and VPS meet at Savon Sanomat Areena, Kuopio on Saturday, Jul 25 at 4:00 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Veikkausliiga. Just 2 points separate them in the standings.

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

History strongly favours KuPS here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against VPS, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

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