VPS HIFK betting prediction

Betting suggestion:

This is a match where the home team will most likely win (bet: VPS to win). That's because, despite going through a difficult time after the defeat at home to the penultimate placed team in the previous match, VPS has a much more qualified team and is prepared for a decisive duel like this, which they do at home against the last placed team of the Veikkausliiga, HIFK. Aside being in last place, HIFK has the worst offense, which is the only one in the league with an average of less than one goal scored per match, and has the second worst defense in the Veikkausliiga, averaging just over two goals conceded per match. VPS already has the second best offense of Veikkausliiga (second only to the leader of the competition), with an average of two goals scored per match. Therefore, the expectation is that, playing alongside the fans and needing the victory to get back away from the relegation zone, the VPS will not have many difficulties to secure the three points.

Preview

VPS and HIFK meet at Elisa Stadion, in a match for the 20^th round of the Veikkausliiga. VPS got an away win by (1‑5), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 18‑06‑2022. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 06‑10‑2019, in a match for the Veikkausliiga, HIFK won by (2‑3). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis VPS

The home team is currently in the 9^th position of the league, with 21 points won, after 6 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Inter Turku, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Lahti, by (2‑3). 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 49 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 17 conceded. For the league, VPS won 5 points out of 27 possible points, after 1 win, 2 draws and 6 losses in the last 9 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 11 of their 19 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 12 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 6 of their 16 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Vaasan Palloseura arrives for this home match under pressure to beat Veikkausliiga's bottom team, HIFK, and thus not run the risk of ending the round in the relegation zone. Champion of Ykkonen (Second Division of Finnish football) last year, VPS arrived to compete in the Veikkausliiga this season aware that their fight would be against relegation. However, counting on a great performance away from home, the VPS came to fight in the top half of the leaderboard. That was until the 12th round, when the dispute got even more intense in the fight for the classification to the Championship phase (second phase of the Veikkausliiga, disputed by the teams that finish the regular phase in the top half of the leaderboard, which compete for the title of the competition and some spots in European competitions next season). Since then, VPS has played 7 matches, of which they won only one, drew two and lost 4. In the last round, VPS hosted Lahti, penultimate (11th) placed, at home and disappointed the fans by losing 3-2. As a result, VPS dropped to 10th place and is just one point away from Lahti, who in the penultimate (11th) position is the first within the relegation zone of Veikkausliiga.

Confirmed Lineup: Oskari Forsman, Juhani Pikkarainen, Tyler Reid, Luis Murillo, Jesper Engstrom, Samuel Lindeman, Prosper Ahiabu, Joonas Vahtera, Miika Niemi, Tete Yengi, Kalle Multanen.
Coach: C. Sund.

Analysis HIFK

The away team is currently in the 12^th position of the league, with 8 points won, after 1 win, 5 draws and 13 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against SJK, by (0‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Honka, by (4‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 30 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 1 win, 3 draws and 11 losses at their stadium, with 8 goals scored and 28 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches HIFK has a record of 1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Helsingfors IFK comes unmotivated for this match after not winning in 9 matches (the team's longest period without a win this season) and coming from two consecutive defeats. Now, with only 3 rounds left for the end of the regular season of the Veikkausliiga, HIFK follows in the place where it practically did not leave during the entire championship: the last place. With only 1 win, in addition to 5 draws and 13 defeats, HIFK has 9 points less than the penultimate (11th) placed, Lahti, and no longer has any chance of leaving the relegation zone in this regular phase of the Veikkausliiga. In this round, Helsingfors IFK will face VPS, an opponent that they will probably face again in the Relegation phase (second phase of the Veikkausliiga that involves the teams that finished the regular phase in the lower half of the leaderboard, which they will fight, in 5 rounds, to score enough points to escape relegation). However, even if the VPS has little chance of escaping the Relegation dispute, it is a team that is managing to surprise quite a lot this season, which is the first since its return to the Finnish football elite. In the league, VPS has a 13 point advantage over HIFK, in addition to having a goal difference (between scored and conceded) of +6, while HIFK's is -27.

Confirmed Lineup: Ramilson, Ståle Steen Sæthre, Daan Klinkenberg, Guillermo Sotelo, Roman Eremenko, Jusif Ali, Savio, Sergei Eremenko, Sakari Mikael Mattila, Michael Bakare, Macario Hing-Glover.
Coach: M. Paatelainen.
