VIFK form and stats

VIFK, who have the fewest scored goals (3) away in Kakkonen, have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Kakkonen, after 0-2-6 (8 played). Three has not been a lucky number for VIFK as they have been defeated three times in a row since the KuFu-98 match. VIFK has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Two away games in a row for VIFK, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus JBK in the Kakkonen. A 0-4 loss hosting SJK Akatemia before that.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from VIFK's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 8 matches. The VIFK manager M. Peltonen has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last six meetings: 3 - 1 - 2 (JS Hercules wins - draws - VIFK wins). As for goals, 4 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 2 had two or less.
