SJK have shown attacking intent, with an impressive 3.08 expected goals (xG) in their latest away clash against Ilves. However, their struggles are apparent when facing top-tier opponents. With this in mind, the recommendation is to back VPS to secure the win while both teams are likely to get on the scoresheet (BTTS). Past performances and xG stats highlight the strength of this betting tip.

These two sides locked horns recently and VPS won 2-1 as visitors. SJK have decent scoring potential but struggle on the road, so I see big value in backing home win & BTTS on Friday. 

Key Stats  


  • VPS have won 5 of their last 7 home matches. 
  • VPS have won 3 of their last 4 matches against SJK. 
  • VPS have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 matches. 
  • VPS have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 4 matches against SJK. 
  • SJK have lost 3 of their last 7 away matches (Veikkausliiga). 
  • SJK have seen BTTS in their last 7 matches. 

SJK Lead Head-to-Head 


This is going to be the 46th h2h meeting between these two sides and SJK have a 26-14 advantage in terms of victories. 

VPS Unbeaten Since May 


VPS have been a tough team to beat this season in the Veikkausliiga, sitting in 4th place with 24 points after 14 rounds and hold the best defensive record in the league (allowed just 11 goals). 

Their results in the second part of June were fantastic, recording back to back victories against SJK 2-1 and Oulu 5-1, while wrapping up the month with a 1-1 draw against Gnistan. 

The first and only July appearance so far was at home against Mariehamn, claiming a commanding 4-0 victory where they had 2.43-0.43 expected goals and 8-2 shots on target. 

SJK Sitting Near the Bottom 


Judging by early days, SJK are likely to be involved in the relegation battle this season, accumulating just 14 points in 14 matches and sit in 10th place. 

Their results on the road have improved a bit recently, but still sit at one victory, three draws and three defeats with a –5 negative goal difference. 

The most recent one was a 2-2 draw against another table struggler Ilves where SJK were two goals behind for 82 minutes then netted twice late. 

Team News


Simon van Duivenbooden is ruled out for the home side due to an injury, while Luka Smyth is doubtful. 

Albin Bjorkskog is going to miss this clash for the visitors due to a knee problem, while Prosper Padera is also sidelined (unspecified reason). 

Verdict

SJK are an aggressive team, posting 3.08 xG in their most recent road clash against Ilves, but struggle against upper table squads. I am backing VPS to win with BTTS.
