Mikkeli vs KuPS Akatemia tips and predictions

Mikkeli looking to extend run

This Mikkeli team's front three have looked good. It's odds-on for several goals so this will be entertaining even if that doesn't mean there's anything exciting about the prices.

Mikkeli are unanimously favoured to win this so it doesn't look like there's much to play with in the match winner market. KuPS Akatemia are not expected to pose a threat to this side.

Once this starts Mikkeli will pressure KuPS Akatemia. The last 8 fixtures have not all gone to plan for the away squad; they've lost 7 of them. They don't have the tools to manufacture many opportunities here.

Does the home team look confident at the moment? Mikkeli scored at least once in 7 of their recent 8 matches while they have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 18 home games. If they can continue to put in commanding defensive performances they'll see this clash as an opportunity to keep another clean sheet.

KuPS Akatemia have actually conceded two or more goals in 7 of their last 8 matches. Further, there could be some evidence that their goal-scoring average has taken a dip. The attacking form shown by the visitors has been short of quality. They netted an average of just 0.6 goals in their last 8 matches.

The sportsbooks believe that both sides can get in on the act despite the favouritism for Mikkeli. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option here.
