Match description
VPS shows a clear advantage in recent form: in the last 5 matches they scored 19 goals (3.8 per game) with a record of 3 wins and 2 draws, averaging 2.2 points per game, while HJK in their last 5 have 8 goals (1.6 per game) and a 2-2-1 record averaging 1.6 points per game. In chance creation VPS at home averages 12.67 shots and 4.33 shots on target per match with xG 1.48, whereas HJK away averages 11.25 shots and 3.25 on target with xG 1.33. Defensively the advantage is with the visitors — HJK concede 0.75 goals on average away versus 1.00 conceded by VPS at home, and HJK fail to score in 25% of away matches vs 33% FTS for the hosts. VPS’s seasonal home stats show 0% home losses but only 33% wins and 67% draws, indicating consistent point accumulation by the hosts; however, the current run of 19 goals in 5 matches along with better shots on target and higher xG at home gives them the edge. Given these figures, I project a home win at ~60%, a draw at 25% and an HJK win at 15%.
