The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 15.6% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5
VPS
VPS’s last five league results read WWLLL, highlighted by a 4‑0 home thrashing of Mariehamn and a 1‑0 victory over SJK, both at home. Those two clean‑sheet wins illustrate their ability to score and defend at VPS, which supports the expectation of them holding the advantage in this fixture.
Turku PS
Turku PS have collected LWLLW in their recent five, including a 1‑3 loss away at SJK and a 0‑1 defeat away at HJK Helsinki. The heavy loss at SJK and the narrow defeat at HJK show a defence that concedes multiple goals on the road, underscoring the difficulty they face against VPS’s strong home attack.
Head-to-Head
In the three most recent meetings, Turku PS have won twice 1‑0, while VPS’s only victory was a 3‑1 win in 2021, indicating a recent edge for Turku PS but a historical ability of VPS to score multiple goals, which aligns with the model’s VPS win probability.
