VPS vs HJK Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals

Goals should be on the menu at Lemonsoft Stadion this weekend with VPS and HJK both seeing plenty of high-scoring outcomes in the Veikkausliiga this year.

VPS return to home comforts now winless in three matches after a 2:1 reversal against Haka on Wednesday evening. Despite taking an early lead, Jussi Nuorela's side slipped to a second home defeat of the campaign. 

A disappointing run of form in the past month has seen the hosts lose four and win just one of six games played since the end of May.

Frequently involved in high-scoring fixtures, eight of VPS last 11 games saw both teams score, and a minimum of three goals scored. Just one of their seven most recent contests saw over 2.5 goals scored.

HJK comes into this weekend's fixture looking to bounce back from two surprise Veikkausliiga defeats in the past week. Having claimed ten wins and two draws from 12 previous unbeaten fixtures, Miika Nuutinen's side slipped to a shock 3:0 defeat at KuPS before a 3:2 home reversal against Jaro on Wednesday.

Like the home side, HJK have seen plenty of high-scoring outcomes this year. All but two of their last 12 games finished with over 2.5 goals scored.

Recent encounters between these sides gives further confidence in our over 2.5 goals pick this weekend. Five of their last six meetings saw a minimum of three goals scored, with an average of 3.66 goals per game scored in those fixtures.

Considering recent form and the H2H record, over 2.5 goals looks the safest choice on Saturday, with both teams also expected to score in Vaasa.
