VIFK hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 15 points and a 11th position in the Kakkonen table. Visiting Vaajakoski holds 6th place with 24 pts.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
VIFK form and stats
With 1 Kakkonen win, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, VIFK are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The VIFK goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 209 minutes without conceding a goal in the Kakkonen.
In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting GBK.
The VIFK fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Vaajakoski form and stats
2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Vaajakoski playing as the away team in the Kakkonen this season.
It's the second away game in a row for Vaajakoski, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus KuFu-98 (placed 7th) in the Kakkonen last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against GBK.
