VJS form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for VJS so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-8 (win-draw-lose).

Two trips in a row for VJS, whose manager Setälä could celebrate last time after the win against KaaPo. That victory felt good as this club had gone five league fixtures without victory.

A 1-3 loss hosting Tampere United before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and VJS playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 4 home wins.

Take note that 9 of this club's 12 most recent league matches have ended with three goals or more.

VJS have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. VJS are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 13 goals in these matches.
