VPS Vaasa vs IFK Mariehamn Predictions

• VPS have only scored three times in four home games
• Mariehamn have the second worst attack in the division
• VPS’ last four fixtures at Hietalahti Stadium have contained fewer than three goals

VPS still searching for a home win

The contrast between VPS’ home and away form is remarkable, given they are yet to win at the Hietalahti Stadium, where they have scored just three times in four, compared to 24 strikes in seven on the road.

Jussi Nuorela’s side have seen only one of those home matches contain three or more goals, while they have in fact  failed to net in three of their last four there.

There also does not tend to be too much action when they two meet, with 11 of their last 16 head-to-heads containing two strikes or less.

Mariehamn hoping to pull away from danger

Mariehamn are having a difficult campaign too and find themselves second bottom in the Veikkausliiga, largely down to their failure to, as yet, win away from home.

Lukas Syberyjski’s side have only scored 11 goals in 12 league outings, of which merely four have come in six on the road, where they have lost four and drawn two.

Three of their last five on their travels have contained fewer than three goals, with the figure extending to seven from a dozen games in the league.

I predict that there will be fewer than three goals in this game, but VPS should be able to sneak that first home win, with 2-0 to the hosts my correct score prediction.
