On Sun Sep 11th, VPS will host KuPS at Elisa Stadion in a meeting of these two Veikkausliiga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which is great football weather. VPS sits at 9th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-2 loss against SJK. Kalle Multanen struck first for SJK on an own goal in the 22nd minute, then Tuomas Kaukua added another in the 62nd minute In the end, VPS was frustrated by SJK’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. SJK ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 2nd placed KuPS, recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Ilves. Neither KuPS nor Ilves could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 8 and 2 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. With 18 points in their last 10 matches KuPS should be reasonably happy with their performance.
