Lech Poznan – KuPS Tip Conference League, Playoffs, second leg on Thursday, 26.02.2026 at 21:00 CET
Although the 2026 domestic football season in Finland is finally starting, Kuopio PS is unfortunately not far enough along in its preparation to take on this opponent. The first leg has already proven that.
Anyone who assumes that the Finns will still make up for the 0-2 deficit on Thursday should therefore rather go to the NEO. Bet free bet. Personally, I have a much more promising Lech Poznan KuPS tip in mind.
The selection of Poznan/Poznan at odds around 1.50 means nothing other than that the Poles will win the game after a previous half-time lead. Basically, in exactly the same way as the first leg went!
Lech Poznan vs. KuPS AI Predictions:
Our Lech Poznan KuPS AI forecast has presented me with some promising betting thoughts, which I have evaluated individually for you. It was important to me whether the offers traded by the various German betting providers also yield a decent profit.
With the recommendation Lech Poznan to win without conceding a goal, a football bet, for example, is worthwhile in any case. The odds promise to double your stake for an event that is very likely.
Well, the Finns were already outnumbered after 12 minutes in the first leg, but even with eleven I don’t assume that their xG value would have been significantly higher than the 0.14 that was finally reached.
Predicted chance of winning:

I think the AI selection Sieg Lech Poznan with HC -1 at odds around 1.60 is a bit less interesting compared to the previous bet. For the simple reason that the quota is not quite as lavish.
Personally, I would prefer to add this condition to the previous one in order to get a much more attractive combination odds of about 2.42.
Without suspended striker Joslyn Luyeye-Lutumba, the Finns will have very little going forward, while the Poles should have scored a hat-trick in the first leg. Their own xG value was a very strong 2.91.
I therefore expect a final result of 2-0, 3-0, 4-0 on Thursday in front of their own crowd, but maybe also 5-0 for the home side.
What you need to know about Lech Poznan vs. KuPS betting
- Polish superiority: Teams from Poland historically dominated the duels against Finnish representatives with only one defeat in 20 games (14 wins, 5 draws); Lech Poznan itself has won all three previous matches against teams from Finland.
- Poznan’s knockout history: Although Lech Poznan have been eliminated in two of the last three cases despite winning the first leg, the latest example is encouraging – in 2022/23 they beat Djurgarden after a home win in the first leg.
- KuPS on the verge of a first: The Finns have never been able to survive a European knockout round in their club history if they lost the first leg (0 out of 5 cases); the last Finnish club to achieve such a turnaround was Ilves in 1991.
- Lech Poznan are extremely difficult to beat in front of their own crowd in this competition – only one of their nine home games in the Conference League so far has been lost (W6 D2).
