Last season the league newcomers performed better than expected and became one of the revelations of the championship. This season has gone differently: the club went through a managerial change, lost several key players and sit 11th with 15 points. Their goal difference of 17-35 is the second worst in the league, and in May Jaro conceded five unanswered goals to Gnistan, which remains the biggest home win of the season in the league.
The defence is unstable at home too: they have conceded in 19 of their last 21 league matches, and in head-to-head meetings with VPS in 9 of 10. However, in front of their own supporters the team has been surprising - they have gone unbeaten in 7 of their last 8 matches, and goals have been coming consistently: over 1.5 goals were scored in 18 of the last 19 matches.

Vaasa PS Team Overview

A year ago, VPS finished ninth, and Jussi Nuorela's style was raising questions: results weren't there. Now the team are sixth with 27 points, and expert Markku Kanerva, who managed the Finland national team for many years, has specifically praised them for their aggressive football. In defence, Nuorela has his own son Josep playing for him - he's 23 and has been at the club since his youth.
In the previous round, Vaasa lost at home to Inter (0:1), and the manager was brief: against a team of that level, such mistakes cannot be made. At home and away, VPS are quite different sides - they score almost always, in 9 of their last 10 matches, but away from home they manage just one goal in 12 out of 13 cases.

Editor's Pick
The head-to-head record works against the favourites: Jaro have not lost to VPS in 6 consecutive meetings, and they have covered the +1.5 handicap in 15 of their last 16 matches. At home that margin is even more reliable - 14 out of 15.
Both sides look likely to score: Jaro concede at home in 19 of their 21 matches, and VPS have scored in 9 of their last 10. It works the other way too - the visitors defend lightly away from home, and the hosts almost always find the net in front of their own fans. That said, I'm not expecting a high-scoring affair: VPS away matches rarely reach four goals. The bet is Jaro not to lose. Predicted score - 1:1.
