In the first H2H game this season, we saw a 1:1 draw in a very close duel. Looking further back, these teams met a total of 13 times. Gnistan secured two wins and VPS five times, at least after regular time.
When it comes to the number of goals, five out of 13 H2H games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in the same number of games (five).
Gnistan team overview
Gnistan arrived in Veiikausliiga after promotion in 2023 and had two solid following seasons where they finished 8th and 6th. This season, the start was atrocious as they lost three league games in a row (plus one in the Cup). It seemed that this would be a challenging season, but after that bad start, they bounced back and are now doing more than OK. At the moment, they have won 18 points from 12 rounds, but interestingly, ten of those came in the past four rounds! So, it is pretty evident they are in good form.
After a 1:1 draw with Jaro, coach Jussi Leppälahti spoke to the media. According to credible sources, he was disappointed not to take all three points after taking the lead early. The coach emphasized that the team needs to be sharper in the penalty box and be more clinical.

VPS team overview
VPS had a disastrous last season, as they ended up in the Relegation Group and eventually finished 9th. However, they weren't too close to being relegated. This year, they did well from the very start and it seems they are only getting better as the season progresses. At the moment, they are in 5th place with 20 points from 12 rounds - seven points away from the top, but with two games played less. Also, around half a month earlier, they impressed in the Cup, eliminating KuPS and reaching the Semi-Finals.
After a 5:1 win over AC Oulu, coach Jussi Nuorela spoke to the media. He was very satisfied with the team's reaction after allowing the first goal in the 21st minute. The coach also praised the team's attacking efficiency and intensity, especially in transition.
