It's unfortunate for SJK that they began the season strongly but couldn't maintain their form, ultimately missing out on a top-three finish. They currently sit in the fourth position on the table with 42 points in 26 games. Throughout the season, they scored 35 goals but also conceded 31, which played a role in their inability to secure a higher position in the standings.

VPS have displayed impressive form since match day 7, accumulating 41 points in their last 20 games. This remarkable run has established them as the top-performing team in that period, with no other side securing more points. Their consistent performance has earned them the third position on the table, and they now have an opportunity to compete in next season's UEFA competitions. Regardless of the result of their upcoming clash, they will conclude this season in third place, marking a successful campaign for the club.

Looking at their recent head-to-head meetings dating back to July 2019, we can see that SJK have won 4 of these encounters, while VPS have secured 1 victory. The number of draws stands at 1. In these matches, a total of 14 goals were scored, with 9 of them coming from SJK and 5 from VPS. This results in an average of 2.33 goals per game.

The most recent league encounter between these two teams took place on August 9, 2023, during Veikkausliiga match day 19. In that game, VPS emerged victorious with a scoreline of 3-2 against SJK.

VPS appear determined to extend their unbeaten run in the upcoming match, even though the outcome won't impact their position in the standings. This undefeated streak is a source of pride for them, and they'll be motivated to preserve it.

However, both teams will likely score in the match, with nothing significant to lose, both sides will approach the game with an open and attacking mindset. This could lead to an entertaining and potentially high-scoring encounter where the focus is on playing good football and finding the back of the net.
