HJK host VPS in the Veikkausliiga, with the home side having managed only a 1-1 draw in their last match, while VPS have just lost 0-2. This is therefore a meeting of two teams who have both been picking up points in fits and starts of late. HJK are still unbeaten in three straight, but they have also gone two matches without a win. An attack that used to score steadily is starting to stall, while VPS have lost two in a row and are also without a win in two. Their season stats are still not far off the hosts, though: VPS have scored 29 and conceded 22 in 22 matches, while HJK have scored 36 and conceded 27 in the same number of games. The home side are likely to do more of the attacking, but VPS will probably sit deep in a block and wait to counter. If HJK score first, the game could open up and the hosts can play to their strengths, but if VPS hold out for long, it could turn into a match where the hosts push harder and harder without reward and end with a result that is not far apart.
