Struggling VPS will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Ilves in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

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 stadium uses artifical grass, unlike Ilves's home stadium. The visitors last 18 games on artifical grass have ended in 7 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses.

VPS form and stats

With 0 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, VPS are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. With nine 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.

The VPS crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Ilves here at Elisa Stadion in a Veikkausliiga match. Before that, VPS played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Inter Turku.

VPS has scored 6 goals at home this season, in 6 matches. VPS have conceded 9 from these games.
