VPS form and stats
VPS have performed here at Elisa Stadion this season with 5 wins from 7 Ykkonen matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 0. There’s a good atmosphere here at Elisa Stadion after three straight home wins.
No payout for VPS in their previous match, an away game at Klubi-04 that ended in defeat 0-1.
A 2-2 draw away before that, with PK-35 the opponent.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from VPS's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn zero and lost one.
Goals decide football matches and VPS are scoring many of them at home; 14 on target from 7 league matches. VPS have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
MuSa form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for MuSa so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-3 (win-draw-lose). With the MuSa losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
MuSa aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 207 league minutes without a goal. J. Lakkamaki was the last player to find the net.
Home advantage was not enough for MuSa in their previous game, as they lost their Ykkonen-match, hosting TPS, 0-2.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Klubi-04 wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and MuSa playing away, we found five games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and four home wins.
The attacking power of MuSa when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. MuSa's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 12 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
The latest head to head encounter ended MuSa - VPS 3-0, earlier this season. As for the last three games between these two teams, there's one VPS victory, one draw and one MuSa win. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
