VPS vs Inter Turku
Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 13:00 CEST, Lemonsoft Stadion, Vaasa
- VPS vs Inter Turku Tips: Inter Turku to Win & Under 3.5 Goals at 2.35 at ibet
There are only four rounds remaining as we head into this meeting; every point is super important at the top of the table. Inter Turku arrives in Vaasa leading the Championship group, but it’s only one point more than HJK and KuPS; a slip-up could completely reshape the title race.
Last round they lost at home, 2-1 against AC Oulu, which ended a strong run for Inter, and now they come to Lemonsoft Stadion with more pressure. VPS cannot afford any errors after losing 2-0 away to KuPS. A victory over the league leaders would provide a much-needed boost after an inconsistent Championship Group campaign.
Recent Meetings/History
In this fixture throughout 2026, Inter Turku has been the better team.
The league leaders have won two Veikkausliiga meetings this season by 1-0 and one they drew in. They also eliminated VPS from the Finnish Cup with a 3-2 victory in June.
Looking further back, Inter are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with VPS in all competitions, including friendlies, and have developed a habit of finding a way through even in tight matches between the two clubs.
Recent Form
VPS
The results for VPS have not been going their way over the past two months.
Since the beginning of September, they have won two and lost four. They won against Gnistan and AC Oulo. The defeats were against KuPS twice, Inter Turku, and a heavy 6-0 loss away to HJK. Goals have been a big problem, with just two goals scored across those six league matches.
Midfielder Simon Lindholm has been the top goal scorer, scoring 12. He is the player who carries his team on his shoulders.
Inter Turku
Inter coming from a surprise defeat at home against AC Oulu in the last round, but they are still leading the table.
They have three wins in their last five league matches and continue to rely on their strong defense that has conceded only two goals in the last five matches.
They have two high producing forwards in Jasse Tuominen (10 goals) and Alie Conteh (15 goals), and these two can be the big difference in a game like this.
Team News
Neither team has any major reported injury concerns ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
Prediction VPS – Inter Turku
VPS have been competitive at home, but with their issue of scoring goals is a concern against the team with the best defense. Inter have already won against them twice in the league this season and they really need the three points in the championship race.
The visitors may not dominate, but they are the better team.
My prediction is Inter Turku to win and Under 3.5 Goals to the odds of 2.35.
HJK vs KuPS
Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 14:00 CEST, Bolt Arena, Helsinki
- HJK vs KuPS Tips: HJK to Win & Over 1.5 Goals at 2.12 at ibet
The title race could hardly be more exciting heading into Sunday’s showdown in Helsinki.
With four rounds remaining, both HJK and KuPS have 51 points, one point behind leaders Inter Turku who got 52. That means this match is far more than a battle who will finish second or third. A loss could mean they are out of the title race, a victory could mean that they are highly involved in the fight for the title.
Recent Meetings/History
Looking back at the meeting between the two teams in September it ended 0-0.
The clubs have met three times in the league this season. KuPS is the only team that has won an encounter between the two, with an impressive 4-0 win in Helsinki back in June, while the other two meetings finished 1-1 and as mentioned 0-0.
In fact, HJK have not beaten KuPS in the league since 2024, but they are still the favourites to win the upcoming fixture according to the odds.
Recent Form
HJK
One of the reasons that they are favourites is their excellent form and they have more momentum than anyone in the title race.
They have three straight wins in their last three league encounters, and they scored 14 goals during those three, including a 6-0 demolition of VPS and a dramatic 4-3 victory away to AC Oulu.
Much of that attacking threat comes from Mads Borchers, who leads the league scoring charts with 21 goals, while Teemu Pukki continues to provide experience and end product with 13 league goals.
KuPS
KuPS bounced back by beating VPS 2-0 last weekend after two straight losses against AC Oulu and Inter Turku.
While the last results have been inconsistent, they still are the division’s second-best defensive team with only 26 goals conceded in 28 matches.
In attack, Jaime Moreno is their main threat with 12 league goals, while Bob Armah has contributed eight goals and scored one in their last game against VPS.
Team News
Neither club has any major injuries reported.
Bettin Prediction HJK – KuPS
This is the kind of match where there is little room for error.
HJK comes with great momentum and they are playing at home, but KuPS have been a tough opponent for them this season and is the only team that has won when they have met in 2026.
But even if HJK had some issues with them, HJK’s recent attacking form is excellent and with deadly attackers as Teemu Pukki my prediction is that they will win.
My prediction: HJK to win & Over 1.5 Goals to the odds of 2.12.
