General match analysis
The favorite is VPS: at home they have 57% wins and 0% losses with a home goal difference of +10, while SJK records only 14% wins away and has a -5 goal difference. VPS averages 2.29 goals per home game with 5.29 shots on target and a conversion rate of 18%, whereas SJK away averages 1.14 goals with 4.43 shots on target and an 11% conversion. Defensively VPS concedes 0.86 goals per home match, and SJK concedes 1.86 on the road; this is supported by xG — VPS has 1.51 xG at home versus 1.33 xG for SJK away, while xGA is 1.29 for VPS against 1.62 for SJK. In the last 5 matches the hosts earned 10 points (3W,1D,1L) and scored 14 goals, while the visitors have 8 points (2-2-1) and 10 goals. Considering higher shot efficiency (18% vs 11%), more shots on target (5.29 vs 4.43) and the fact that SJK fail to register a shot in 43% of away games versus 14% for hosts, I predict a VPS win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The Both Teams To Score (BTTS) scenario is more likely: VPS has a seasonal BTTS rate of 71%, SJK 57%, and the league average is 53%. In the last 5 matches VPS recorded BTTS in 80% of games, SJK in 100%, with average goals of 2.8 for VPS and 2.0 for SJK in that period. The home side’s attack generates xG 1.94 and averages 17.0 shots with 5.57 shots on target per match, while SJK concedes 1.86 goals on average this season and has xG against of 1.62, which increases the likelihood of VPS goals; at the same time SJK has xG 1.33 versus xG against for VPS of 1.27, so the visitors can also create chances. Both teams have only 14% clean sheets, and SJK have conceded 22 goals versus 11 conceded by VPS, which reduces the probability of a no-goal outcome; on this basis I recommend a BTTS — Yes bet.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Season-long metrics show Over 1.5 occurred in 86% of matches for both VPS and SJK, and in the last 5 meetings both teams registered Over 2.5 in 80% of games, indicating a propensity for fixtures with at least 2–3 goals. xG analysis: VPS has an average xG of 1.94 versus xG conceded to SJK 1.62, yielding expected goals for VPS ≈1.78; SJK has xG 1.33 versus xG conceded to VPS 1.27, yielding ≈1.30, totaling ≈3.08 goals. VPS averages 17 shots and 5.57 shots on target per match compared to SJK’s 10.57 and 4.43, and with seasonal BTTS rates of 71% (VPS) and 57% (SJK) both sides have realistic scoring chances. Seasonally Over 2.5 appeared in 57% of matches involving both teams, but in the form of the last 5 matches this rises to 80%, therefore the projected total of 3.08 goals favors Over 2.5 rather than Under. Based on this I select Over 2.5 as the strongest signal (estimated probability ~72%), while assessing Over 3.5 conservatively at ~38% because the expected total falls just below the 3.5 threshold.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The main arguments in favor of VPS are superiority in xG and chance creation: VPS has an xG of 1.94 versus 1.33 for SJK (a 0.61 differential) and averages 17.0 shots per match compared to SJK’s 10.57. In the last 5 matches VPS has won 60% of games (3 of 5) and led at the break in 60% of those appearances (3 of 5); their average first-half goals in the last 5 is 1.4 versus SJK’s 0.8, suggesting greater home efficiency before the break. VPS has scored at least one goal by half-time in 100% of home matches (7 of 7), while SJK concedes an average of 1.86 goals per match this season, increasing the likelihood of the home side taking and maintaining a lead. Additionally, the season-long "both teams to score" rates are 71% for VPS and 57% for SJK, so I expect goals from both sides but with VPS superiority; therefore the most probable HT/FT scenario is 1/1.
