- VIFK have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- GBK have the most conceded goals (38) in Kakkonen
VIFK and GBK should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
VIFK form and stats
With 2 Kakkonen wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, VIFK are certainly not brimming with confidence. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Elisa Stadion, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the OTP game.
E. Igboeri was the last player to score a league goal for VIFK and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as VIFK haven't scored in 241 minutes.
The VIFK fans got no joy from their last match, a Kakkonen game also here at Elisa Stadion: A 0-1 defeat against SJK Akatemia (placed 1st).
Preceding that match was the home game against JJK that was lost 0-3.VIFK has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
GBK form and stats
There's been little loot from GBK's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 8 away games in the Kakkonen. GBK only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. It's a growing despair in GBK as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The attacking players of GBK have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 227 minutes.
GBK's previous game was their home loss versus RoPS II (0-4). GBK lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
Prior to that match, the GBK manager C. Corcoran faced defeat when travelling to SJK Akatemia and losing 0-1.There's been a serious shortage of goals from GBK's away games in the league this season with only 4 goals from 8 matches. GBK have conceded 17 goals in these games.
