Predictions & Betting Tips

Head-to-head history suggests Haka might hold the edge

Both of these teams are in pretty poor form heading into this Friday’s Veikkausliiga clash and it could be a tight and tough game between these two clubs, who are both on a three-game losing streak heading into this contest. For those looking for the Kotkan Tyovaen Palloilijat vs FC Haka Valkeakoski prediction, this losing streak makes the upcoming fixture particularly unpredictable. After seven games in Veikkausliiga 2025, home team sit 11th with four points on the board and visitors are 9th with seven. Jonas Nyholm has struggled to turn KTP’s fortunes around since taking charge at the start of 2024, while Andy Smith has been attempting to get Haka playing his brand of attacking soccer, although it hasn’t clicked for his team so far this season.

Goals likely as both teams are in disarray

With no data on the tactical approach of either side, we’ll go with the form guide to suggest that this game could be a tough one for either side to break down. Our Kotkan Tyovaen Palloilijat vs FC Haka Valkeakoski prediction is that both teams are struggling for consistency, as Kotkan Tyovaen Palloilijat have lost four of their previous five Veikkausliiga matches and were hammered 4-1 away to HJK just three days ago. While Haka have yet to claim an away victory in the league, they have drawn their only away game of the season, suggesting they won’t simply roll over on the away trip. They’re yet to win away this year, but they have averaged 2.00 goals per away game, so they could provide a decent attacking threat. Additionally, this Kotkan Tyovaen Palloilijat vs FC Haka Valkeakoski preview suggests fans can expect an open game with chances for both sides.

Back Both Team to Score as neither team impress

Home teams have failed to win any of their four home league games this term (D1, L3), and have conceded an average of 2.75 goals per game in this campaign’s Veikkausliiga, while scoring just 0.75 themselves at home. With Haka scoring 2.00 goals away from home and both sides struggling defensively, the BTTS market looks very appealing for this matchup. For those interested in wagering, the Kotkan Tyovaen Palloilijat vs FC Haka Valkeakoski betting tips will likely focus on both teams finding the net in a game where defences are not the strongest. Kotkan Tyovaen Palloilijat are the bookmakers' favorite at +900 here, while Haka are +500 underdogs. The hosts probably have a slight edge due to home advantage, but the recent H2H record and form favours the visitors. Armaan Wilson has scored two of KTP’s last five league goals and looks a decent anytime goalscorer choice after coming through when his team needed him to step up. Danila Bulgakov has scored twice in four Veikkausliiga games for Haka and looks their most consistent scoring threat.
