What to expect

We expect about 2.7 goals from KuPS and 0.5 from Mariehamn, so KuPS come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.3 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Mariehamn come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Under 4.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 3.3 goals in total (xG 2.7-0.5), keeping it under more often than not (about 84%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 84 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.32, which works out at about 76 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.7-1.3), and we make both teams to score about 52%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.
