KuPS
KuPS’s recent league record shows a single draw, and the match‑by‑match list records a 1‑1 draw away at Shamrock Rovers. The lack of wins and the low scoring average (0.0 goals for) suggest KuPS are not currently prolific, but the ability to score at least once in the recent encounter supports a BTTS outcome.
Shamrock Rovers
Shamrock Rovers also have only a recent draw on record, with the match‑by‑match list noting a 1‑1 home draw against KuPS. Their away goals‑for average sits at 0.0, indicating no recent scoring, yet the previous 1‑1 result shows they can breach the net, bolstering the BTTS case.
Head-to-Head
The most recent head‑to‑head meeting on 20 Aug 2026 ended 1‑1, directly confirming both sides scoring and reinforcing the model’s BTTS probability.
