Mariehamn VPS betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 2^nd position of the league, with 34 points won, after 10 wins, 4 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against HIFK, by (4‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Oulu, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses in away matches, with 44 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 19 conceded. Their last away match for this competition ended in a win by (0‑2) against Lahti. In the last 10 away league matches VPS has a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 19 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 13 of the last 13 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 26 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 15 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Vaasan Palloseura go into this final game of the Veikkausliiga 2022 satisfied with their campaign so far and motivated to get at least an away draw on this final day to confirm the second relegation spot. As mentioned above, there is no great benefit in being the runners-up in the relegation play-off, which is the second phase of the Veikkausliiga played by the lowest ranked teams in the regular phase, simply to define relegation to the Ykkonen (the Finnish second division), but VPS certainly value this potential achievement. This is because the team returned to the Veikkausliiga this year after winning the Ykkonen title in 2021, and therefore came into this season with the expectation that they would be fighting for relegation until the final rounds. However, after a strong regular season, VPS ended any chance of relegation after back-to-back wins in the first few rounds of the relegation play-offs, and despite that, they came back to win on the third and fourth matchdays. With the 4 consecutive wins, the team reached the second place in the relegation table and now, in this direct match with IFK Mariehamn (3rd place) as visitors, they need at least a draw to secure the second place in the relegation table.
