📊 Form Guide

Helsinki IFK

LLDDLL ⚠

Helsinki IFK will be hoping to bounce back here following a 1-2 Veikkausliiga loss in their previous game against FC Honka.

The only name on the scoresheet from Helsinki IFK was Aatu Kujanpää (51'). Aldayr Hernández (66') and Agon Sadiku (85') scored for FC Honka.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that Helsinki IFK have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Helsinki IFK have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 10 goals during that time.

Their past results show that Helsinki IFK:

• haven't been beaten by VPS Vaasa when playing them at home in the last 2 matches in the league.
• are without a win at home for the past 8 matches in the league. Such a poor run.

VPS Vaasa

LLWLLW

VPS Vaasa will go into this match following a 1-3 Veikkausliiga win over IFK Mariehamn in their previous fixture.

In that game, VPS Vaasa had 46% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 4 on target. For VPS Vaasa, the goals were scored by Kalle Multanen (33', 38') and Samba Sillah (64'). On the other side, IFK Mariehamn had 20 shots at goal with 5 on target. Joakim Latonen (78') scored for IFK Mariehamn.

The numbers tell their own story, and VPS Vaasa have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 10 goals overall. Defensively, VPS Vaasa have seen their frailties exposed. We will just have to find out if that trend can be continued on into this next match.
