VPS II form and stats

With 1 Kakkonen win, 0 draws and 9 defeats from their home games, VPS II, who have the fewest scored goals (13) in Kakkonen, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Three consecutive losses here at Palosaaren jalkapallokenttä is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

The fans are hoping that VPS II will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Kakkonen game against SJK Akatemia (placed 1st). Ahead of that match, VPS II lost 0-2 at home to KajHa.

VPS II has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 10 games. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as VPS II have let the opposition score 32 times, an average of more than three per game.

VIFK form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for VIFK, who have the fewest scored goals (4) away in Kakkonen, so far with only 3 Kakkonen points returning home. The records show 0-3-7 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved VIFK have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the JBK game.

The supporters enjoyed VIFK's previous game versus PK-37 (placed 11th), a Kakkonen 3-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Vaajakoski wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.

Goals are few and far between in VIFK's away league games. Only 4 goals from 10 travels. The VIFK manager M. Peltonen has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
