Let's get ready for VIFK - RoPS II! Never mind the highs and lows so far, this game should be cracking!
- VIFK have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their home matches.
This has all the signs of an intriguing game with lots of action and bustle as both squads are well recovered since they last saw competitive action. Let's start!
RoPS II are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
VIFK form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Kakkonen this season. VIFK have only managed 2 wins, 0 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Elisa Stadion. It's been an uphill battle for VIFK in their home games for quite some time now, as six matches in a row are lost here. Not since the OTP game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
The fans are hoping that VIFK will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-5 away loss in the Kakkonen game against OLS (placed 6th). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Preceding that match was a defeat to OLS (1-3).VIFK are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. VIFK are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (18 from 9 played).
RoPS II form and stats
There's been little loot from RoPS II's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 9 away games in the Kakkonen. RoPS II only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. Visiting RoPS has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
RoPS II have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 190 minutes ago. R. Degerman was the goal scorer.
RoPS might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. JJK proved too strong as RoPS II slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans.
A 0-0 draw at JJK's stadium before that.The visiting RoPS II have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 11 goals from 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. RoPS II's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
