HJK – VPS

For the 14th matchday of the Finnish league, Helsinki welcomes Vaasa to the Bolt Arena.

In their last match for the championship, Helsinki was held to a 1-1 draw at home against the leader of the standings, Kuopio. She entered the match strongly and only opened the score in the 6th minute, but in the replay, the visiting team, having balanced the match, reached the tie, forming the final result. This was the fourth consecutive match for Helsinki that remains without three points as a result is in 3rd place with 27 points and minus 6 from the top of the standings.
Midweek for the Champions League qualifiers was defeated in Latvia by Riga with 2-1 and combined with their victory in the first match with 1-0 the match was taken to extra time. Nothing changed there, with the two teams playing the qualifying round on penalties it seemed cooler and qualified for the next stage of the competition.

Another poor home result for Vaasa in the league, last week they were beaten 3-1 by Mariehamn. He was behind in the score from the 26th minute, he equalized at the beginning of the second half but then collapsed, conceding two more goals and losing the match. This was their 5th home defeat, but having an impressive presence in the away matches as they have 7 wins and only 5 losses in 2 matches. The end of the competition found Vaasa in 8th place with 16 points.

A game where the odds may not indicate the difficulty of the match. Helsinki is considered the big favorite of the match and will look for a return to victories, but it comes from a trip and a match with overtime. At the same time, Vaasa is coming from a defeat, but away from home it has impressive numbers, having the best attack in the category.
