View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Both teams have an identical BTTS rate of 56% this season, above the league average of 49%, providing a slight argument for a goal from each side. Jaro are highly reliable offensively at home, scoring an average of 1.89 goals with an xG of 1.57, while VPS concede an average of 1.11 goals away from home. VPS’s chances of finding a response are boosted by Jaro’s recent defensive form: in their last five matches, Jaro allowed opponents an xG of 2.49 per game and conceded 7 goals, while VPS scored 7 goals and generated an xG of 1.54 during that period. The risk to the pick is VPS’s low away scoring average of 0.78 goals and 33% of matches without scoring, but Jaro’s weaker recent defense slightly tips the forecast towards BTTS - Yes.

Over/Under - goals analysis

The 2.65-goal projection is based on the quality of chances created: the home side averages 1.57 xG, while the visitors average 1.39 xG, with VPS recording 1.54 xG over their last five matches.

At least two goals were scored in 67% of Jaro’s matches and 56% of VPS’s fixtures, while both teams recorded Over 2.5 goals in 60% of their last five appearances. Over 1.5 goals is the safest choice, as even with moderate finishing efficiency, the expected goal total remains clearly above the two-goal threshold.
