HJK Helsinki welcome VPS at Bolt Arena, Helsinki on Saturday, Jul 18 at 2:00 PM in a Veikkausliiga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
HJK Helsinki come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). VPS, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
History strongly favours HJK Helsinki here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against VPS, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in VPS won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives HJK Helsinki a slight edge, but VPS are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
