Analysis VPS

The home team comes to this 2nd round after a (3‑1) loss in their league debut, against KuPS. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. For the league, VPS won 17 points out of 30 possible points, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 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. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 11 of the last 11 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 23 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2.

VPS enters the clash with HJK seeking redemption after recent results that have put the team on alert. Despite a solid regular season, their playoff performance has been inconsistent, putting them under pressure. The Vaasa side knows that a victory against HJK is crucial to keep their chances of fighting for top positions and securing a spot in European competitions alive. The challenge will be significant, as VPS needs to balance their offensive approach with a defense that has shown vulnerabilities. Playing at home could be an advantage, especially with support from their fans, but the team needs consistency to capitalize on the opportunities that arise.

Confirmed Lineup: Teppo Marttinen, Martti Haukioja, Mikko Pitkänen, Juho Hyvärinen, Alfie Cicale, Samuel Lindeman, Evgeny Bashkirov, Prosper Ahiabu, Ogude Emmanuel Ifeanyi, Samu Alanko, T. Hytönen.

Their current focus is to stay among the top teams in the Championship Group and secure the lead in the final stage.
