General match analysis
HJK have home advantage: they win 58% of their home matches, while VPS win 33% of their away games and lose 42%. The hosts score an average of 1.67 goals at home from 13.08 shots per match, whereas the visitors manage just 0.92 goals away and fail to score in 33% of their matches. The last five games also favor HJK, who have scored 5 goals and lost once, while VPS have scored 2 goals and suffered 3 defeats. However, the gap in the quality of chances created is narrow — average xG stands at 1.53 for HJK at home and 1.45 for VPS away — and the visitors concede just 1.00 goal on average, so a draw remains a realistic outcome. Even so, HJK’s finishing and home record give them a clearer chance of victory.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest signal in favor of BTTS - No is VPS’s scoring form: the visitors have scored just 2 goals in their last 5 matches, and both teams did not score in any of those games. Over the season, VPS have averaged 0.92 goals per match and failed to score in 33% of their games, while HJK have kept a clean sheet in 31%. HJK have a higher goals-per-match average, 1.46 compared with VPS’s 0.92, increasing the likelihood that the visitors will fail to find the net. A counterpoint is that both teams have an identical average xG of 1.45; however, their season BTTS rates are only 46% for HJK and 50% for VPS. Therefore, the more likely scenario is that at least one team will fail to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest signal points to Under 3.5 goals: this line has not been exceeded in 69% of HJK matches and 83% of VPS matches. Both teams concede an average of 1.0 goals per match this season, while VPS score only 0.92 goals per match compared with HJK’s 1.46. The last 5 matches reinforce a cautious assessment: VPS scored just 2 goals in total and did not feature in a match with at least 3 goals, although their average xG was 1.19, leaving room for improved finishing. With HJK projected to score 1.27 goals and VPS 0.85, the expected total is 2.12 goals, making Under 3.5 goals a safer choice than a lower line.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
A draw at half-time followed by an HJK win appears the most likely outcome: the hosts were level at the break in 3 of their last 5 matches and scored just 0.2 goals per game before half-time over that period. VPS have also scored sparingly before the break, averaging 0.4 goals in their last 5 matches, although the fact that they led at the break in 40% of those games means HJK cannot consider the opening stages risk-free. The case for a home win is supported by their season averages of 1.46 goals scored compared with 0.92 for VPS, as well as win rates of 46% versus 33% for the visitors. Their second-half form is particularly significant: HJK averaged 0.8 goals after the break in their last 5 matches, while VPS failed to score in the second half of any of them. This combination of a cautious first-half prediction and HJK’s clearer advantage late on justifies the X/1 pick.
