Perhaps a welcome break from league football as KPV & VPS face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Finland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
KPV form and stats
KPV participated in Finland Cup the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.When playing at home in the Ykkonen, KPV have managed 4 wins, 2 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 11 games.
KPV haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 275 minutes ago. A. Vidjeskog scored that one.
In their previous game, the manager J. Uotinen led his KPV to a defeat in the Ykkonen match away at Gnistan. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Kipparihalli. A Ykkonen defeat was the result before that one, 0-5 away at Gnistan.
As you see from the result above, KPV suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
KPV are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (28 goals in 11 games). 15 goals have been conceded.
VPS form and stats
VPS's mission in Finland Cup last season failed in the group stage.The visitors are W5-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Ykkonen. VPS are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.
The manager C. Sund was unhappy after their last game, a Ykkonen match played at their home ground Elisa Stadion (Vaasa). VPS suffered a 2-4 loss to KTP. A loss against KTP was the result prior to that, in a Ykkonen home game.
Leading 2-0 was not enough for VPS in their fight with KTP last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-4 loss. As you can tell from the result, the match against KTP was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
VPS are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 17 times in 11 away games so far. As opposed to that, VPS have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): KPV two wins, two draws and VPS six victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.KPV missing players
