In the Finland Cup semi-final on September 10, 2025, a match between KuPS and Jaro will take place. The hosts are certainly not planning to stop at this stage.
Our Forecast for the KuPS vs Jaro Match
The club from Kuopio were the national champions last season. However, this season they finished only fourth, earning exactly two points per match (44 in 22). Nonetheless, the entire battle for the title is ahead, with the leader, Inter Turku, sitting at 46. Moreover, the players have recently been distracted by the Champions League (they passed Milsa but were eliminated by Kairat) and the Europa League (they dealt with RFSh but stood no chance against Midtjylland).
The visitors, having returned to the Veikkausliiga last season, ended up second at a lower level and won in the playoffs. And so far, they are holding up quite well: they finished the first part of the season with 25 points. The same goes for VPS, which, according to additional metrics, ended up in seventh place.
In the cup, champion TPA advanced, as did Jazz Pori and, in the quarterfinals, Haku. Their opponent’s campaign began as early as the 1/64 finals with a 3-2 win over VIFK. They then overcame HauPa and HIFK, VPS, and Ekenas.
