VPS hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 6 points and a 11th position in the Veikkausliiga table. Visiting KuPS holds 6th place with 16 pts.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical grass and that the visiting KuPS have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical grass is 8-6-8 (win-draw-loss) from 22 matches.

VPS form and stats

Overall stats at home this season for VPS are 0-3-2 (wins-draw-losses). All in all it has been a very rough period for VPS who hasn’t won a game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Inter Turku. With seven 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 fans are hoping that VPS will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Veikkausliiga game against HIFK. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Mariehamn.

VPS has scored 5 goals at home this season, in 5 matches. 7 goals have been conceded.
