KuPS, Kuopion Palloseura, who won the Finnish Cup championship in Tampere on Saturday, will continue their work at Tammela Stadium on Tuesday, when Ilves will host Jani Honkavaara's crew in the Veikkausliiga. The people of Kuopio have not been able to take many victory drinks in Saturday's championship frenzy, because the number one priority is still the Veikkausliiga championship, where KuPS now have great opportunities to reach number one as they top the table by 2 points, and a game in hand!

With a win, however, Ilves would join the title race!

Joonas Rantanen's Ilves' own championship dreams will culminate in Tuesday's match. KuPS lead Ilves by five points and as long as the home team manages to win the match, the difference would be two points on the basic score. HJK is also in the thick of it, which currently leads Ilves by three points, but the club has of course played one match more. Of course, even reaching second place would be significant, when you could get to next season's European games without the domestic qualifiers. It is not long ago Ilves were far from the top, so this season is already a success, and full of excellent performances after a poor start for the season. They drew one and lost 2 of their 3 games, against mediocre opponents. Without those silly losses they would top the table! The form is good.

Doni Arif is still suspended from Ilves, but Juhani Pikkarainen and Abdoulaye Kanté are available again. Felipe Aspegren, Vincent Ulundu and Noel Hasa are injured and the situations of Maksim Stjopin and Lauri Ala-Myllymäki will be clarified even closer to the match. Rather important to have some of them.

KuPS, who are having a great season, will be tired on Tuesday when the stress levels are in the red. KuPS overthrew Inter in overtime, which means that there are 120 minutes of trotting and chasing the ball, and after that, only two full days of rest will. Honkavaara will have to recycle on Tuesday, which of course will show, the bench is not very strong.

At least Ousmane Diawara, who was suspended in the Cup final, offers Honkavaara a self-evident solution - fresh legs are now badly needed. Of the regular players, only Joslyn Luyeye-Lutumba will be sidelined on Tuesday. At least Clinton Antwi and Jerry Voutilainen will start from the bench on Saturday.

Ilves makes KuPS rattle in these stressful situations - so a direct victory for the home team tastes quite good. Tempo is of course the key word of the day – Ilves will press hard and high and the purpose is to keep the intensity of the match as high as possible. At Ilves should do that, and if they fail to keep up the speed and fail to win they can only blame themselves.

上周六在坦佩雷赢得芬兰杯冠军的库普斯、库奥皮恩·帕洛瑟乌拉将于周二在塔梅拉体育场继续他们的工作，届时伊尔维斯将在维科斯利加主场迎战贾尼·洪卡瓦拉的球队。库奥皮奥的人们没有在周六的冠军狂欢中喝下多少庆功酒，因为他们的首要任务仍然是维考斯利亚联赛，在那里，卡普斯现在有很大的机会登上第一，因为他们领先积分榜2分，而且还少赛一场!

然而，只要一场胜利，伊尔维斯就将加入冠军争夺战!

拉纳塔南的伊尔维斯自己的冠军梦将在周二的比赛中达到高潮。卡普斯队领先伊尔夫斯队5分，只要主队能赢下比赛，基本分就差2分。香港jk也处于最紧张的状态，目前领先伊尔维斯3分，但俱乐部当然多踢了一场比赛。当然，即使是获得第二名也很重要，因为你可以在没有国内预选赛的情况下参加下赛季的欧洲比赛。不久前伊尔维斯还远未登顶，所以本赛季已经是一个成功的赛季，并且在赛季糟糕的开局之后充满了出色的表现。他们在3场比赛中1平2负，对手都是平庸的对手。如果没有那些愚蠢的损失，他们会在积分榜上名列前茅!形式很好。

阿里夫仍然在伊尔维斯停赛，但是皮卡莱宁和坎特维尔可以上场。阿斯佩格伦、乌伦杜和哈萨都受伤了，斯乔平和劳里Ala-Myllymäki的情况将在接近比赛时得到澄清。有一些是很重要的。

经历了一个伟大赛季的up们，在周二的比赛中会感到疲惫，因为他们的压力水平已经达到了红色。尤普斯在加时赛中击败了国米，这意味着有120分钟的小跑和追球时间，之后只有两天的休息时间。本卡瓦拉将不得不在周二的比赛中重新上场，这当然会表明，板凳阵容不是很强大。

至少在杯赛决赛中被禁赛的迪亚瓦拉给了本卡瓦拉一个不言而喻的解决方案——现在急需新鲜的双腿。在主力球员中，只有卢耶-卢滕巴将在周二的比赛中缺阵。至少克林顿·安特维和杰里·沃蒂莱宁将在周六从替补席上首发。

在这种紧张的情况下，伊尔维斯会让卡普兴奋不已，所以主队的直接胜利感觉很好。节奏当然是今天的关键词——伊尔维斯将会奋力向上，目的是尽可能保持比赛的高强度。伊尔维斯应该这样做，如果他们没能保持速度，没能赢球，他们只能怪自己。
