JJK vs KuPS June 12th, Veikkausliiga continues

this is what we had today; FT JJK 1 - KuPS 5.

Veikkausliiga continues after a short summer break with JJK vs KuPS - a derbyish game tonight Lineups are out; but the deciding factor today is more the mental state of the visitors who have started much more worse than expected. Match is televised and hopefully widely streamed for you, Stan James for example are showing it to UK-based customers.  Class-wise close, JJK been their inconsistent and high-scoring themselves but at home the performances have varied from horrible (1-4 vs Haka!) to mediocre. JJK have been far from shining, the general defensive problems have gone nowhere but because of great upfront players Gruborovics, Manninen, Wusu and Innanen they win games. Latest signing Van Gelderen has proved to be a useful lad, but one of the key attackers Jani Virtanen has completely lost form. KuPS have failed, with the player material they have they should be able to fight for 3rd spot this year but they have had their share of injuries, suspension, lost games and the negative spin that comes along when things go wrong. During the break KuPS have hopefully cleared the air within the team, the manager Pekonen has been told from the board to be less negative and shut the mouth up and start working, but rumouredly the squad have not been happy with him and he has not been happy with the squad, and Pekonen is facing a sacking unless things change. However I see this as a good opportunity to back KuPS, the hc is too high and KuPS have most likely taken good use of the break which all clubs needed badly and I have already gone for KuPS +0.5 and will possibly take more latest in live-betting. Team news: KuPS without striker Zahovaiko, df Holopainen and mf James but especially James is not needed and the situation at KuPS is rather good in that sense; Puri and Purje both in match fitness. Etchu Tabe makes a welcomed return to backlines. JJK miss mf Korte from the ideal starting lineup. JJK win % somewhere around 47-50%, good value in KuPS and I prefer the +0.5 over +0.75 because in case this goes again badly for KuPS the sky is the limit and they can lose a lot worse than by a single goal. Market moves possible and even likely, only the direction is unknown.
