KuPS will have to overturn a one-goal deficit when they welcome Sabah Baku to Finland in the second leg of the Champions League second qualifying round. As Sabah are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in Tuesday's clash, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Finnish champions struggled to impose themselves in the first meeting, producing just one shot on target despite enjoying spells of possession. KuPS, though, have been in solid form overall, winning six of their last ten matches while averaging 2.00 goals per game. They have also been entertaining at home, where their matches average 4.00 goals. The good news for the hosts is that there are no fresh injury concerns, with only long-term absentees Pasanen and Voutilainen remaining sidelined.
Sabah head into the return leg full of confidence after a deserved 1-0 victory in Azerbaijan. The hosts dominated the first encounter and created the better chances, with Veljko Simic scoring the decisive goal. Unlike KuPS, Sabah were not in domestic action at the weekend, meaning they should be fresher for this clash. The Azerbaijani champions have won eight of their last ten games, averaging 2.13 expected goals while conceding only 0.70 goals per match, making them difficult opponents to break down.
Sabah will likely defend their advantage, while another tight contest is expected. Therefore, Under 2.5 goals bet boasts big value, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 28 July 2026 at 16:00.
