After making it three consecutive winners at Tannadice on Thursday, Friday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to the Finnish top flight, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ IF Gnistan vs VPS
🇫🇮 Veikkausliiga
⏰ Friday 15 August, 16:00
Two clubs separated only by three points in the Finnish Veikkausliiga table meet at the Mustapekka Areena tomorrow afternoon as sixth-placed Gnistan hosts eighth-placed VPS in a fixture that appeals to me for goals.
Jussi Leppalahti’s hosts have scored 30 goals across their opening 19 matches in the Finnish top flight this season, with 13 (43%) coming across their eight home fixtures.
The Kipina have failed to score in just one of those eight home encounters – striking on multiple occasions in six of their last seven – and will be confident of breaching a VPS defence that has kept a solitary shutout on their travels this campaign, shipping 2+ goals in 7/9 (78%) of them.
Jussi Nuorela’s visitors have scored 28 goals across their opening 19 contests in the Veikkausliiga this term, with an impressive 19 (68%) coming on their travels.
The Vassa-based outfit have found the back of the net in each of their opening nine road trips – notching 2+ goals in six (67%) of them – and will look to continue their scintillating goal-scoring record away from against a Gnistan defence that has shipped 11 goals in their last four matches and multiple strikes in 5/8 (63%) of their home encounters.
Bet of the Day
Ginstan’s opening 19 contests in the Veikkausliiga this campaign have averaged an eye-catching 3.42 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals paying out in 12 (63%) of them, whilst 12 (63%) have also seen goals at both ends – including each of their last four and six of their past eight (2-2, 2-6, 0-0, 2-0, 1-3, 2-4, 2-2 & 5-2).
VPS’s opening nine away matches in the Finnish top flight this campaign have averaged an impressive 4.00 goals per game – with Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals banking in eight (89%) of them (2-2, 3-1, 2-3, 0-2, 2-1, 1-5, 2-1, 3-2 & 2-2) – and I’m hoping that trend continues in the Finnish capital on Friday afternoon.
