58.5% model probability

Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Lost

62.3% model probability

Both sides enter this Veikkausliiga clash with contrasting recent runs – Jaro have been erratic, while VPS have stumbled after a bright start. The match will test whether Jaro can exploit their home edge or if VPS can tighten up on the road.

Lars's Verdict

Solid

Both teams to score – No Lost Strong lean Solid · defensive odds

The model assigns a 58.5% probability to both sides failing to score, driven by VPS’s low away expected goals and Jaro’s defensive record.

Show the maths

Jaro’s expected 1.4 goals at home is modest, while VPS’s 0.8 away expected goals signals limited scoring threat. The model translates this gap into a 58.5% chance that both teams will not both find the net. The BTTS Yes probability of 41.5% reflects the occasional scoring but remains below the threshold for confidence, reinforcing the No selection. The underlying match‑result odds (51.1% home win) also suggest a likely single‑goal outcome, further supporting a clean‑sheet scenario.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Lost 58.5% model probability

With FF Jaro averaging 1.4 expected goals and VPS averaging 0.8, the model gives a 58.5% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 41.5% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (FF Jaro 1.4, VPS 0.8) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 41.5% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 58.5% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Lost 62.3% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.2 (FF Jaro 1.4 + VPS 0.8) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 62.3% chance against 37.7% for Over.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (FF Jaro 1.4 + VPS 0.8 = 2.2 combined): 37.7% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 62.3% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has FF Jaro at 51.1%, the draw at 27.4%, and VPS at 21.4% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 15.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

FF Jaro

LWDWL

Jaro’s last five league games read L‑W‑D‑W‑L, with a 2‑1 home win over Ilves and a 2‑1 home win over SJK showing they can score when in front of their fans. The 0‑0 home draw against Inter Turku and the 0‑2 away loss to Lahti underline occasional defensive frailties, reinforcing the view that they may keep a clean sheet while still finding the net.

VPS

WWLLL

VPS have slipped to three defeats after two early wins, highlighted by a 1‑0 home win over SJK and a 4‑0 home thrashing of Mariehamn. Their away losses 1‑2 to HJK Helsinki and 1‑3 to KuPS, plus a 0‑1 home loss to Inter Turku, illustrate a trend of low scoring, which supports the expectation of no goals from VPS.

Head-to-Head

Recent head‑to‑head meetings show Jaro holding the edge, with a 1‑0 win on 14 Feb 2026 and a 3‑1 victory on 18 Oct 2025, while the latest fixture ended 0‑0, underscoring the likelihood of a low‑scoring encounter.
