In the other Kakkonen clash this season, HIFK won 2-1 at home in June. The two older Cup encounters in 2018 both ended 4-1 to HIFK, both played at PEPO Lappeenranta's ground. The H2H suggests an edge to HIFK historically, but current momentum clearly favours the home side.

Win Probability: PEPO Lappeenranta or HIFK?

We calculate the win probabilities as follows: PEPO Lappeenranta 55%, draw 25%, HIFK 20%. This assessment is based on PEPO's unbeaten five-match run, their 5-1 demolition of HIFK in the last H2H, and the home advantage. HIFK's inconsistent form and defensive issues reduce their chances. Therefore, PEPO Lappeenranta are the more likely winners.
