KTP vs. VPS Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between KTP and VPS, taking place on Friday, 11 April 2025, at Arto Tolsa Areena in Kotka.
KTP, Recent Form
KTP won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 home defeat to SJK, given that their opponents sit a full 7 places above them in the league table.
Manager Jonas Nyholm will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 1 goal, conceded 12, and picked up a meagre 0 points. They have failed to score in their last 5 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for KTP, having gone without a win in their last 9 league games and lost the last 9 in a row.
VPS, Recent Form
Having secured a 4-3 home win against AC Oulu in their latest league match, VPS will have a positive feeling ahead of this match.
Whilst manager Jussi Nuorela will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
Mads Borchers will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for VPS.
KTP vs. VPS Head to head
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, VPS produced a comfortable 2-1 victory.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Arto Tolsa Areena, Vepsu have been unable to break through the KTP defence and find the back of the net. In their previous 3 encounters with KTP, Vepsu have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
In this away league fixture, VPS has not won in the last 3 times they have played KTP at Arto Tolsa Areena.
