HJK form and stats

HJK have collected 14 points from their home games so far after 3-5-1.

HJK drew their last game, also a home match. VPS was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Prior to that, an away loss at Crvena Zvezda in the Champions League.

HJK are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 16 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: W10-D3-L3.

The HJK fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 12 in 9 matches. HJK have conceded 9 in these home matches.

VPS form and stats

There's been little loot from VPS's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 9 away games. VPS only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 5 draws. VPS are desperate to end a 18-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Inter Turku fixture.

VPS has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to HJK for a Veikkausliiga game that ended a draw (1-1). Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Lahti.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where VPS played away with similar odds. This revealed four games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 0 times, 1 were draw and the home team won as expected 3 times.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 9 away games, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, VPS have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result HJK - VPS 1-1 entered in the official records. HJK-VPS H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: HJK 6 wins, VPS 1 win, 3 draws. 6 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
