VJS form and stats

VJS have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Kakkonen, after 2-0-5 (7 played).

VJS play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Honka Akatemia (placed 8th).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the VJS manager O. Kujanen as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against HJS Akatemia.
