Preview
VJS enter this fixture in commanding form, and the numbers make a compelling case for the hosts. Their last four matches have all ended in victory — 2–1 at KuPS Akatemia on 10 October, 2–0 at home to KPV-j on 26 September, 2–0 at FC jazz on 19 September, and 2–1 against Inter Turku II on 12 September — scoring 8 goals while conceding just 2. At home over the last 20 games, VJS have won 13 of 20, averaging 3.1 goals per game and conceding only 1.1. Their defence has been the quiet engine of this run, keeping clean sheets in 7 of those 20 home matches.
TPV, by contrast, have won just 2 of their last 5 matches and sit with a 7W 4D 9L record across their last 20 away games. They average 1.5 goals scored and 1.95 conceded on the road, and they kept clean sheets in 2 of 20 away matches. Their most recent outing was a 4–0 home win over KPV-j on 10 October, but that was preceded by defeats to FC jazz (1–3 at home on 26 September) and Inter Turku II (0–3 away on 20 September). Their last away result before this fixture was that 0–3 loss, and the 4–0 came at home, not on the road.
The head-to-head at VJS's ground in the recent meeting on 29 June ended 2–1 to the hosts. The older meetings at this venue — a 6–2 win and a 1–1 draw — are historical record only and do not carry current-form weight. The one recent meeting at TPV's ground saw TPV win 3–1, but that is the reverse venue and does not apply to this fixture.
The counter-argument is that TPV's 4–0 win over KPV-j shows they can score in bunches, and their away record does include 7 wins. However, those 7 wins come alongside 9 losses, and their recent away form — a 0–3 loss to Inter Turku II on 20 September — suggests the 4–0 was an outlier rather than a trend. VJS's 4-game winning run and their dominant home record make this a fixture where the hosts have the clearer edge.
Key Points:
- VJS have won their last 4 matches, scoring 8 and conceding 2
- VJS home record: 13W 5D 2L in 20 games, 3.1 goals per game, 1.1 conceded per game
- TPV away record: 7W 4D 9L in 20 games, 1.5 scored per game, 1.95 conceded per game
- Recent H2H at VJS's ground: 2–1 to VJS (29 June 2026)
- TPV's last 5: 2W 3L, with defeats to FC jazz and Inter Turku II
The evidence points firmly to the hosts. VJS home win at 1.44.
