VPS Vaasan Palloseura (home)
- VPS Vaasan Palloseura have won 5, drawn 3 and lost 1 of their 9 home matches in Veikkausliiga 2026.
- VPS have been in mixed-to-poor form with two wins and three defeats in their last five and they are on a three-game losing streak, but TPS are not coming into the matchup in great shape either.
- VPS are sixth in the table on 27 points from 18 games while TPS are 8th on 25 points after the same number of fixtures.
- VPS lost 3-1 away to KuPS and 1-0 at home to FC Inter Turku in their two most recent outings, so there is no momentum to make us lean towards the hosts.
TPS Turku (away)
- TPS Turku have drawn 3 and lost 5 of their 8 away matches in Veikkausliiga 2026.
- VPS have been in mixed-to-poor form with two wins and three defeats in their last five and they are on a three-game losing streak, but TPS are not coming into the matchup in great shape either.
VPS
Martti Haukioja has chipped in with two goals in VPS's last five games, which could be crucial if the front line needs a spark.
TPS
- Similarly, Marius Koenkkoelae has three assists in TPS's last five, which could be the difference between the two teams in the creativity area.
- Albijon Muzaci has been just as reliable as VPS's top scorer, scoring seven times in 18 league appearances, so there is a penalty-box threat for the away team.
Betting Insights
- The odds are all out of proportion for Friday's Veikkausliiga matchup between VPS and TPS at Hietalahden jalkapallostadion.
- VPS are as low as 1.71 favourites to beat the visitors, who are listed at 4.41 with the draw at 3.7.
- VPS average 1.89 goals per game scored at home and have conceded just 0.78 in Veikkausliiga 2026, which is a strong base for control and keeping clean sheets.
- In comparison, TPS average just 0.62 goals per game away and concede 1.38 - they have been blunt in the penalty box outside of Turku.
Prediction
A VPS win or draw Double Chance looks the smartest play here, but with TPS wanting to get forward and VPS solid at home, we are going with the home side to nick a narrow 1-0 win in the correct score market.
