Honka vs VPS Vaasa Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Just below the race for the title in Finland’s top division is looking extremely competitive and with little to separate third to sixth, just one defeat can see any of those sides drop off the pace. This Sunday pits two of the sides in that mix against each other as fourth placed FC Honka welcome sixth placed Vaasa PS to the Tapiolan Urheilupuisto.

Both of these sides enter into this match in pretty good shape and have been scoring plenty of goals of late, so neither should be lacking in confidence at the moment. With this in mind, we think that the goals market represents the best opportunity of a return. Neither of these sides will want to take a backwards step but their aggressiveness in attack may just leave them exposed at the back. As a result of this, we think that combining a both teams to score bet with there to be over 2.5 goals scored looks like the best way to go.

The hosts are undefeated in their previous seven matches and a major factor in their recent success has been their ability to find the back of the net. Honka have scored two goals or more in each of their last five matches and the 28 goals they have managed this term represents the third best offensive record in the Veikkausliiga. However, that focus on attack has caused it’s problems at the back and the fact that both teams have scored in each of their last eight matches, and in 82% of their matches overall, is perfect testament to this fact.

Despite the strength of the opposition’s attack, Vaasa PS are unlikely to be intimidated. The visitors are not quite as prolific as Honka and focus more on their strength at the back, however they have managed 10 goals in their previous five outings and their ability in front of goal should not be underestimated.
