VPS host FC Lahti at Hietalahden jalkapallostadion, Vaasa on Monday, Aug 31 at 6:00 PM in the Veikkausliiga.

VPS come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). FC Lahti travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, VPS lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives VPS a slight edge, but FC Lahti are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
