National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Tervarit-j or VPS that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Tervarit-j form and stats
Tervarit-j have not come this way in the Finland Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating SCJ and Black Eagles.Tervarit-j are returning here after guesting Black Eagles in a Finland Cup match and winning with a 4-2 scoreline.
VPS form and stats
Last season their Finland Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.The visitors are W1-D0-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Veikkausliiga.
Two trips in a row for VPS, whose manager Nuorela could celebrate last time after the win against Lahti. As you can tell from the results above, VPS was very dominant against Lahti, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Strandvall, Yengi (2), Multanen and Morrissey providing the goals.
Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Oulu.VPS have the goal stats of 5-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
