The two sides

Inter Turku carry a model rating of 6.25 against 6.74 for KuPS. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

Recent form (most recent last): Inter Turku D-L-W-D-W; KuPS W-W-W-D-W.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 0.83 goals for Inter Turku and 1.77 for KuPS. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Inter Turku rate 0.40 in attack and 1.44 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; KuPS rate 0.88 and 1.10.

That points to 48% for over two and a half goals and 47% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 0-1 (13%), 0-2 (12%), 1-1 (11%).

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Inter Turku a 1.4% chance of the title and KuPS 98.6%, from 10000 simulated seasons.
