Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, MuSa in 7th and VPS in 5th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
MuSa form and stats
Overall Ykkonen stats at home this season for MuSa are 5-1-3 (wins-draw-losses).
No payout for MuSa in their previous match, an away game at Oulu that ended in defeat 1-2. A strong away win before that one, visiting MYPA and winning 5-1.
MuSa are traveling soon after this match as the Ykkonen match at KPV awaits in four days.
Goals decide football matches and MuSa are scoring many of them at home; 18 on target from 9 league matches. MuSa have conceded 18 goals in these home games, a significant number. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
VPS form and stats
4-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for VPS in their Ykkonen matches away. VPS love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
It's the second away game in a row for VPS, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Kajaani (placed 10th) in the Ykkonen last time out. A 1-3 loss hosting Jaro before that.
VPS have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 13 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, VPS have conceded 14 goals in their away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
