Ilves vs KuPS Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Ilves square off with KuPS in the Veikkausliiga of Finland action on May 21. The match is set to start at 15:00 UTC.

Tensions run high as Ilves and KuPS square off once more, 4 months after the League Cup Group Stage match that concluded in a 3-4 victory for Ilves. Following a recent loss to Mariehamn last Sunday, Ilves aim to regroup and turn things around in this upcoming clash. Before KuPS, their schedule includes Inter Turku, Haka and Vaasan PS in Veikkausliiga, and how they perform in these games could set the tone for their encounter with KuPS.

KuPS, fresh off a series of four wins against Gnistan, Mariehamn, Jaro and Oulu, approach this match eager to continue their positive form, bringing their unbeaten streak to five. Though notably, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have been conceding goals for three consecutive away matches now. Ahead of their clash with Ilves, KuPS must first take on Haka, KTP and SJK in Veikkausliiga, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Ilves.

This Veikkausliiga clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Ilves and KuPS in this campaign. Ilves’s offensive unit, under Joonas Rantanen’s guidance, has leaned on Lauri Ala-Myllymaki, their main scorer, and Teemu Hytonen, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Ala-Myllymaki has already scored two goals in Veikkausliiga this season, while Wallius has been their leading creator in the competition with two assists. Matias Rale, Roope Riski and Anton Popovitch have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Ilves’s attack.

Meanwhile, Otto Ruoppi and Petteri Pennanen have been pivotal for KuPS’s attack, crafted under Jarkko Wiss’s leadership, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Ruoppi has already scored two goals in Veikkausliiga this season, while also excelling as their primary creator, registering one assist in the competition so far.
