HJK vs. VPS Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between HJK and VPS, taking place on Friday, 17 May 2024, at Bolt Arena in Helsinki.
HJK, Recent Form
Last time out, HJK went away feeling content with a 1-0 away win against Inter Turku
Manager Ossi Virta will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Tope Keskinen will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for HJK.
VPS, Recent Form
The VPS players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against KuPS recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Jussi Nuorela will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 7 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 21 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had an excellent run of form away from home recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games on the road.
Mads Borchers will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for VPS.
HJK vs. VPS Head to head
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 3-2 win for VPS.
The Vepsu defence has struggled at Bolt Arena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 17 visits.
Playing at home, HJK have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 10 times they have faced VPS in the league.
