HJK vs VPS Prediction: The home side to repeat a win

Even though the season just started, it's interesting to note that these two teams competed against each other in a head-to-head encounter the previous Saturday. That contest was won by HJK on the road with a score of 1-0. It should come as no surprise that HJK was able to achieve another victory, considering that they had 12 shots on goal throughout that encounter while VPS only had six.

HJK will be hoping for a result similar to their most recent one, which was a victory in the Veikkausliiga over VPS Vaasa by a score of 1-0.

HJK's offensive performance has dipped significantly in recent seasons. Over the course of their last six matches, they have scored only a total of four goals against rival teams. As a result of those matches, HJK have been on the receiving end of a total of 8 goals scored against them. Having said all of that, the following game will tell us a lot about whether or not this pattern will persist into the future.

In their previous nine meetings against each other in the league, HJK and VPS Vaasa have played each other without HJK suffering a defeat.

After suffering a disheartening loss against HJK by the score of 1-0, VPS will be trying to get back on track as soon as possible.

Over the course of their previous six encounters, VPS Vaasa have found the back of the net on eight separate occasions. The sum of the goals that they have given up in those same matches brings the total to 6.

In the nine previous league matches played away from their home stadium, VPS has not been victorious against HJK even once. They have won each of their last three league matches away from home without suffering a loss.

HJK - Ost(GK), Soiri, Toivio, Tenho, Raitala, Kanellopoulos, Tanaka, Peltola, Olusanya, Radulovic, Meriluoto.

VPS - Marttinen(GK), Mensah, Pitkanen, Pikkarainen, Alanko, Ahiabu, Bashkirov, Niemi, Raisanen, Multanen, Jaaska.

We have the impression that HJK will have good success putting the ball in the net. On the other hand, VPS may have a difficult time obtaining shooting opportunities, but we do believe that they can be harmful at times.
