Date: Sat 03.August
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Elisa Stadion (6000 seats)

The visiting Honka side should be favourites in this visit to VPS, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 18 league games this season.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This pitch has artifical grass, which is not Honka's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical grass Honka have performed like this: Played 18 matches resulting in 9 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats with the goal stats 23-19 (scored/conceded).

VPS form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. VPS, who have the fewest points (4) at home in Veikkausliiga, have only managed 0 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses so far from their games here at Elisa Stadion. All in all it has been a very rough period for VPS who hasn’t won a game in their last 19 attempts. Their previous win was against Inter Turku. With eleven home games in a row without a win, the VPS fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the RoPS game long ago, can be stopped today.

VPS's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Honka. 1-1 away at HJK before that.

The VPS fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
